Athabasca, accessed via the Boundary Glacier. Excellent travel up on the
climber's left side of the Boundary Glacier. A few hidden crevasses where last
week's new snow is lingering - wear the rope!
The rock finish on A2 is totally dry and snow-free. Descent via the climber's
right side of the Boundary Glacier, pretty easy on a mix of snow and dirty ice,
with good bridges on the far skier's left.
Looked to be building a lot of thunderheads mid-day, but they flattened out and
the sky cleared by 1:PM. The upper north ridge on Athabasca (above the N Face
bypass) looked dry and in good shape.
