[MCR] Mt Athabasca July 19

The A/A col route on Mt Athabasca was in good condition today but getting thin and bony for the last 150m before gaining the col.

The North Glacier ramp route was also in good shape for the decent with the bergshrund and big crevasses on the ramp still well bridged.

Good travel conditions all around, zero foot penetration all day, last nights NW flow provided a solid freeze in the alpine.

The North Face and the Silver Horne routes were seeing traffic.

 

Cheers
