Altitude weather delta

High 2,160 m minus low 535 m is 1,625 m of relief on this record. A standard tropospheric lapse of 6.5 °C per 1,000 m implies about 10.6 °C cooler at the high point than the valley, all else equal.

That is a model (International Standard Atmosphere environmental lapse), not a forecast and not a trail-closure. Wind, snow, and storms stay in Hazards.

Elevation high/low and ascent/descent are Copernicus GLO-30 samples at the line vertices (copernicus-dem:glo-30) and remain provisional.
