Up in the Columbia Icefields area the last 3 days with David Lussier. Today we climbed Athabasca in nice cold, breezy conditions via the normal North Glacier route. Last weeks snow seems to have melted or sluffed off of most of the ice and rocks. A little bit of new snow (3-5cm) above 2800m in the past 48hrs, is lingering on most aspects on both rock and ice. Dry rock and ice below 2800m. The North Face, Silverhorn and the Normal route were all in excellent condition as of today.
Cheers, Conrad Janzen
