Today we climbed the North Ridge of Mt Sifton under cloudy skies and a dropping ceiling.

We found traces of snow starting around 1400m, 10cm of low density snow above 2500m, and drifts and wind pillows up to 50cm deep near the summit.

Photos of Mt Tupper (from Rogers/Sifton col) and Mt Sifton North Face attached.
