Byline

Desk byline for seed records. Named surveying editors replace this once a trail is verified.
Figures marked provisional are seed data and still need verification. Source and last-checked date sit under each cited value.
Altitude weather delta
High 5,431 m minus low 3,598 m is 1,833 m of relief on this record. A standard tropospheric lapse of 6.5 °C per 1,000 m implies about 11.9 °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.
