I just got back from guiding Sir Donald. Lots of traffic on Sir Donald these
days with the nice weather. The route is mainly dry except for one patch of
snow near the top that you can't avoid, but it is short. The bypass ledges to
avoid the summit block still has snow and some ice near the top, everyone is
going that way and seems to work. I chose not to because I felt I couldn't
guided it safely. I came back down the same way. Another few days of nice
weather the By pass will be snow free.
Play safe,
