My group has permits to do Das Boot/Subway next weekend and the weather forecast shows very cold temps the days leading up to it. The forecast I saw had lows in the mid 20's from Tues through the weekend.
We will have drysuits over plenty of layers but I'm wondering about the chances the pools in Das Boot could be frozen over by the weekend? Or, if a few nights of mid 20's isn't enough time to form a lot of ice down there.
We have experience doing cold canyons but dealing with ice would be new for us so I'm also wondering how much that changes the game, and whether we should begin planning for alternative canyons.
Any input would be great. Thanks!
