Five days at the Asulkan hut in the heat. Mostly
good freezes overnight and great travel conditions.
Youngs peak NW face in good shape but will be an
ice face soon.
Swanzy north ridge. Description talks about a
chimney topped with loose rock. We may have missed something but we only found a
big rockfall scar there and climbed a somewhat serious 5.8 pitch on the
ridgecrest. Upper route is in awesome shape as was descent down SE
couloir.
Mostly snow on the glaciers but it is getting thin.
Big fresh grizzly tracks through Asulkan pass.
Hut is in great shape. Sir Donald trail still
closed as of 3pm today for grizzly action.
