[MCR] Rockies: Victoria/Lefroy

Climbed Victoria SE Ridge August 1 and Lefroy today, Aug 2.

Vic is good and getting climbed a lot. The last bit of summit ridge still has narrow snow sections but if you have good balance and are OK with exposure it's no problem. Generally bucket steps in the snowy sections.

Lefroy is bucket steps all the way with the exception of two 5 m sections of ice, if you take the narrow couloir up and left at about 3/4 height. Fast travel even with no freeze. The snowpack is getting thin though so with warm temps Lefroy could change rapidly.
