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.
