Climbed Mount
Sifton yesterday (Sept 2). Up the
SE ridge, down the SW ridge. Just
a trace of the recent storm snow on the north side of Sifton. An ice axe, crampons and a couple ice
screws are helpful for getting off the toe of the Sifton Glacier, as it is bare
ice and it rolls steeply.
Sir Donald is
holding some storm snow on the north face (see photo). It is probably back in climbing shape, with
pockets of snow on the north side of the NW ridge, but I haven’t been up there
since the snow fell last week.
