Climbed Dreambed on Mt Yamnuska today, May 13, with fellow guide, Rob Owens. The climber's approach trail is dry until you get to the base of the face. We walked through some ankle deep snow traversing to the route. The route is in fine dry shape with the exception of the last pitch which was dripping water. We finished via the last pitch of Red Shirt.
There is snow on the back side of the mountai, boot-top deep whale blubber when we hit it. We snow-scrambled down to the Devil's Right Hand rappels and were at the base in three steep rappels (saved us from carrying our approach shoes up the route).
