Completed Maligne canyon through route yesterday. -30 in the canyon. Pool of open water a few corners up from the queen iceclimb. Enter through the locked gate to bypass. All ice shelves still in place which means either they will drop naturally or someone will be standing on one when it does resulting in unexpected swim/fall. Climb out at end very brittle with cold temps.
