[MCR] Lake Louise Group - Mt. Niblock

Climbed up the route Sunday under clear skies and hot temperatures. 

 

Small snow patches aid in the ascent getting to the waterfall but there are currently large moats around the rocks that would be very easy to fall into if you're not careful. 

 

Was able to link snow patches (boot top penetration) from the waterfall to the col but these will not last much longer.  There was the odd patch of ice between the col and summit but easy to avoid.  Crampons were not needed.

 

Lots of loud rumbling coming from the Ten Peaks and O'Hara regions with the heat and still LARGE amounts of snow on Mts. Whyte, Victoria and Lefroy.

 

Happy Canada Day!

 

Cheers
