[MCR] President and Vice President

Subject: [MCR] President and Vice President

Climbed both the President and Vice President on July 11th, from the east, based from the Little Yoho Campground (beside the Stanley Mitchell Hut)

 

We had a great freeze overnight and travel conditions were prime with zero foot penetration in the AM and less than 10cm on the way down at around 1200.

 

The Bergshrund to access the col was well covered on the right side. Some significant rock fall was noted past and present from the melting on the climbers right (north) side of the glacier. There are some drooping cornices that threaten to fail on the right/north side of the glacier as well.
