Up Louise Falls this morning. Route is in good shape with the first pitch offering nice plastic ice. The left hand pillar has about 2 to 3 body lengths of steep ice with good stemming and then it kicks back. The crux of the route is in the last 10 feet before the top out providing brittle, dinner plating ice. The right hand pillar is not ready yet. There is a good trail in for the walk off.
It would be a good idea to be aware what is above your head while on the first pitch. There are several looming daggers above that would be a definite day spoiler if they came off while you were climbing. There are a few v threads that are currently in the direct line of fire.
Have fun out there...
