Guided a guest up the NE ridge of the North summit of Victoria. At 0400 a.m 3 degrees at the parking lot of Chateau Lake Louise. On the Summit was very cold I did not check the temps, but I wore everything I had including my winter ice climbing gloves. I climbed the ridge direct with the 5.3 rock step. Most of the rock was iced up-made for interesting climbing. Overall the weather was overcast to white- out depending on elevation, and very windy. The Victoria glacier still has excellent snow coverage and the bergschrund at the base of the head- wall is well filled in.
All the best,
