Yoo hoo Mz SH-on-tour. You might already know this, but in case you don't, I read somewhere once a quote from a well respected venerable elderly climber, about climbing and weather.
He has an enviable record of first ascents to his credit and said something along the lines of;
"If you wait for the weather, you will climb jack-shit".
Even though he spoke in american-speak I take that to mean that you are better off attempting to do what you want to do, and if necessary taking suitable harden-up cement pills with you!
This approach has worked for me and Derek my M10 love.
