[MCR] Alberta

I went to climb Mt. Alberta- the Japanese route from August 4 to 7 but got chased off the mountain by the weather.  I decided from the hut to climb the west ridge of Mt. Woolley.  An okay route if you like choss and also a good alternative if the South couloir on Wooley is not in shape or if you didn’t get a good freeze.  The Lower part of the South face looks very dirty!

The crevasses on the glacier above the hut are definitely starting to sag and open up.  It is not advisable to travel on that glacier unroped.
