[MCR] Athabasca

Hello,

 

Spent the last 3 days at the Columbia Icefields with Nick Sharp on the Snow and Ice long weekend. Today (Sept 10) we climbed the Ramp route on Athabasca with a bunch of people. It was in excellent condition. The North Face and the Silverhorn were also climbed the day before and also looked to be in excellent condition. Of note was the surface hoar that formed last night and was visible to above the ramp, be cautious after the next storm for avalanches on this layer.
