[MCR] Rockies: Stanley: Kahl Route

Climbed the Kahl Route on Stanley today, July 15.

No evidence of recent snow in this area, it looks like the storm earlier this week passed to the north of Lake Louise and to the east of Banff.

The route is in as good condition as I've ever seen it. Generally firm snow from the glacier tongue to the summit, even with a temperature of +8* in the moraines at 2 AM. An early start is key, things soften rapidly as soon as the sun hits the face (this occurred at about 5.45 AM today).
