Altitude weather delta
High 5,297 m minus low 2,183 m is 3,114 m of relief on this record. A standard tropospheric lapse of 6.5 °C per 1,000 m implies about 20.2 °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.

Ingested from OpenStreetMap relation 8171221 (ODbL). The mapped line is that geometry. Distance, ascent, descent, and high/low points are the evidence-sheet figures (adjudicated 2026-09-19). Season was not sourced. SAC is OSM-sourced mountain_hiking (max alpine_hiking) (T2–T4, ODbL, lastVerified 2026-09-19); YDS is the site cross-walk, still provisional.
