Pfiefferhorn Conditions
Anyone know what the conditions are like on the Pfiefferhorn right now? I'd like to get it off my to-do list this weekend, but I don't want to go up there if the conditions are too wintery. (I don't have any technical winter gear).
Thanks.

If approaching from the north, I'd bet it would be a little dicey. I was on the back side of Timp on Sunday, and I doubt I would've been able to make the summit comfortably. Who knows though, if the snow consolidates well, you might have an easier time.

I'd say it doesn't matter too much what conditions are like now, the question is what will conditions be like by the weekend? Check the forecast for Alta:

Yeah, its pretty much winter up there. Given how little snow is up at Alta's parking lot (ie, none), I was surprised how much is up high. We looked at Snowbird's Twin Peaks on the way down the canyon last weekend, and, there's a bunch of snow above 10k'.
From summer, straight into winter, up high. Crazy.
Thank goodness I finished my bidness up on Devil's Castle on 21 September. That north side hasn't been dry since. Brrr...

I've only done it in summer, and, probably wouldn't again. Loose little critter.
A winter ascent of the NR has come appeal, though.
And going up the standard route in the winter is pretty fun.
