A few more observations to add to the
sparse amount coming in.
Nov 6th - Climbed the Christmas present.
Not much new info to give from the previous posts. There was however a fair
amount of water still running so it may fatten up with the right
conditions.
Nov 7th - Had a look at Haffner Creek. The
ice is starting to show up but if it starts to get climbed there might not be
much left later on. I would give it a miss for now.
Nov 9th - Climbed all but the last pitch of
Murchison's. It is in pretty good shape when you look at what the Bow Valley
looks like....good screws and you are unlikely to hit any rock. There is a
fair amount of flowing water coming from the last pitch, which with a windy day
like we had today can soak you quickly! Not much snow anywhere in this bowl to
worry about.
The first few pitches of Virtual Reality
look good but the huge hanging dagger is scary looking.
As a side note the skiing at Bow Summit
looks bleak to none existent with around 30cm of snow on the
ground.
Have a good and safe weekend!
