Asst. Alpine Guide Exam, Lake Louise
Sept 2
Mt Little
Huber Ledges, Victoria
Thunder and lightning mid-morning, rain, sleet and snow. Clearing
mid-day, then rolling in again mid-afternoon. Sloppy snow conditions,
thin snow bridges. Several cm's of new snow. No summits due to the
stormy weather, both groups got to 3000 m.
Talked to the Full Guide Exam in the Bugaboos on the radio, sounded as
if the weather was a bit more stable there than in the Rockies.
Sept 3
Aberdeen
Unnamed
A worse forecast gave us better weather today although rain and
lightning overnight. 10-20 cm old moist snow below 3000 m. Good travel,
very secure steps. New snow starting at 3000 m, above 3300 m things are
plastered. Winter is starting.
