We climbed Urs' Hole on Cascade Mountain (Banff) yesterday.
Generally a bit on the thin side, especially at the top outs of the steps, with a few of the short pillars being thin ice straws with water flowing beneath. Probably a bit more difficult than the guidebook grade. We saw the upper portion of the direct finish and it looked in but we didn't see the lower part of that pitch.
There also were several pools with thin ice on the walking sections and between the two of us we had 3 bootfuls of water by the end of the day. Mark Klassen Mountain Guide
