Guided the Yamnuska Traverse from east to west today. 5-10 cms of snow on the back side that had a crust and was actually good step kicking, but will get icy with more traffic. The front side of the mountain dried off nicely today and is good to go for climbing. We saw a party half way up the route 'Yamabushi', which I hear recently got downgraded to 5.12d so we can all get on it now ... HA!HA!HA!
Saw some fresh black bear tracks halfway up the trail to the east end this morning. Bow hunters are about so wear something bright, and make some noise for the bears, and the bow hunters.
