Up playing around on a few of the Sport Routes right of Borgeau Falls yesterday. The last two pitches of Borgeau Falls (ice route) are still hanging/teetering overhead and we saw some pretty big blocks crash down yesterday, can't imagine the rest will be up there for long with all the warm weather - be scary to see the rest of that thing come down. Looks like there's been plenty of rockfall along with the ice as the left over avalanche debris at the base has been hammered with rock all the way down to the bottom of the rock slabs on the approach. Be worth giving it a wide berth, if your keen on heading up there.
Those good fer nothin' Ticks were out in force too. We each pulled off about 10 or so over the course of the day.
Have fun out there, enjoy the sun!
