[MCR] Rockies: The President

Climbed The President yesterday, Sat, Sept 7. 15-20 cm of recent snow above 2600m overlies a hard melt freeze crust. No wind slabbing observed. There have been reports of surface hoar on the surface elsewhere but I didn't see any. By the afternoon the snow was temperature affected all the way to the summit, even though the peaks had a lot of cloud about. 

Good travel conditions, and the schrund is easily passed on the climber's right.
