Athabasca/ ice fields

New snow last night and this morning.
4 to 5 cm was observed on the tents in the campground and most likely a lot more at higher elevations. Yesterday warm temps caused la few sluffs in the ramp silverhorn area. The good traveling many of us had experienced in the previous days was changing. Now, will have to wait and see what this short low pressure cycle will leave on the slopes.

Climbed Mt. Victoria from the Abbot Pass hut (Aug. 25), Excellent Cond. Once
again.   Everything well frozen.  From the last storm, most of the new snow
has melted away, some verglass in the lower sections, but easy to get
around.  At 3300 meters was -3.0 at about 08:00.

Lefroy looked in good shape as well.

The firn line is way up around 8500-9000 ft. Travel is good with ankle
top penetration at most. Some dodging and weaving around exposed
crevasses.

Happy trails

Climbed Silverhorn yesterday with good conditions. Anywhere from 5 to 40 cms of new snow on top of good ice. New snow was hiding several small holes mid way up route. It was 6 degrees in the parking lot at 4 a.m. and stayed cool until around 11 when the sun popped out of the clouds. North face looked to be in good shape with one party on it

Cheers
