[MCR] Rockies, Coire Dubh, Doors of Perception, Bow Valley snow line, April 5th, 2010

Climbed the Coire Dubh ice and finished up "Doors of Perception". Not much to add to Barry's post except that it is DRY after you leave the bowl of Coirie Dubh. The upper pitches are pure rock(well, moss, choss, gravel and rock).

It was very clear from the views that it is still very wintery above treeline in the Bow Valley. Yamnuska trails, all routes and the backside are almost completely dry, but when you go west and higher expect some snow.
