[MCR] Mt. Victoria - North Summit

Guided a guest up the NE ridge of the North summit of Victoria.  At 0400 a.m 3 degrees at the parking lot of Chateau Lake Louise.  On the Summit was very cold I did not check the temps, but I wore everything I had  including my winter ice climbing gloves.  I climbed the ridge direct with the  5.3 rock step.  Most of the rock was iced up-made for interesting climbing.  Overall the weather was overcast to white- out depending on elevation, and very windy.  The Victoria glacier still has excellent snow coverage and the bergschrund at the base of the head- wall is well filled in.

All the best,
