Climbed Assiniboine with a client Yesterday -August 20th.  The wind was 
consistently moderate from the west all day, all elevations.  Freezing level 
started at about 9000 feet, and the snow from the previous week was well frozen 
all the way to the summit.   We started using Crampons at about 9800 feet and 
was excellent cramponning all the way to the summit!  The Summit (11800 Feet) 
at 12:30  was -5, maybe -10 with the wind- chill.   Felt like winter!!  One of 
these years I will climb Assiniboine when it is dry!

Regards,

Marco
