[MCR] South Kananaskis Pass area

Spent the last few days around the pass.  Conditions were good before Thursday nights storm. 

 

Thursday we climbed the North face of Mt. McHarg which was perfect cramponing, and then the ridge connecting to Mt. Worthington, which was dry. 

 

Woke up Friday morning to 5 cms of snow in Three Isle campground and it looked at least double that up high.  On our walk out the snow was below 1800 metres but melting fast.

 

Some snow still on the lee sides of the Northover Ridge traverse.  Lots of bear activity (diggings, scratched trees, etc) in the area.

 

Cheers
