| Guided the AA Col on Mt Athabasca today with my fellow guide, Pat Delaney. An overnight freeze provided good travel, overall, on a supportive crust. We descended the North Glacier "Ramp" route. The new serac at the east end of the ramp looks like it may have more calving to do (it's calved twice in the last 3-4 weeks).
Other parties climbed the Silverhorn today, and Skyladder on Mt Andromeda (I think, we saw them on the approach and descent). Also saw tracks going up the Boundary Glacier, for A2 I assume.
Happy trails, Barry Blanchard Mountain Guide www.barryblanchard.ca www.yamnuska.com
