[MCR] Mt Assinaboine

Subject: [MCR] Mt Assinaboine

Climbed the normal North ridge route on Aug 3rd. Crampons on from 100 meters below the Red Band. Mixed snow over rock climbing on the upper half of the mountain made for a slow ascent and descent. This week's forecasted heat should put the route back into good and dry shape in a couple of days. Gmoser highway was dry.

The  East snow arete of Mt Strom is in good shape, climbed on the 2nd.

Happy trails
