Crossed 3 snowpatches traversing from the hut to the tower, the one
between Castle Mountain and Castle Tower is the biggest -20 meters-
all are firm mature summer snow. Used my light ice axe to cut some
steps and if there was an overnight freeze I would have been using it
much more.
Snowpatch in the gully halfway up the route was too hard to kick steps in yesterday so we climbed the rock on climbers left. Happy trails Barry Blanchard Mountain Guide Yamnuska Mountain Adventures |
