[MCR] Assiniboine July 26 to 28/06

Climbed Mt. Assiniboine Yesterday July 27/06.   Excellent conditions, the best I have seen for a few years.  The mountain itself is almost free of snow, except for couple patches.  Still has a summit cornice that you need to be careful.  We did not use any crampons, and used my ax to chop 4 steps.

The Gmoser Highway is also in great shape.  The only snow patch left is in the far south end where you exit out.  That snow is easily bypassed on the left.

The Temperature yesterday at 03:30 was about +9.0 at 8800 feet.  On the summit of Assiniboine ( 11, 867) was about +5 at 09:00.
