[MCR] Rockies, Mt Athabasca

A regal ascent of  Mt Athabasca yesterday, May 24th, Victoria Day. Great travel conditions up and down on the "magic" crust. Its supportive almost everywhere and hard enough to require a fair amount of step cutting while we traveled on boot soles. Great cramponing after we strapped them on.

A party of three ascended the Silverhorn and descended via the Ramp route. We saw a dozen skiers, over our three days, enjoying great corn down low and dust on crust up high.

Happy trails,

Barry Blanchard
