[MCR] Rockies - Weeping Wall

Relatively quiet day at the Weeping Wall today.  Sarah Hueniken and I were both with a team of two and there was one other party.
The temperature was –25 at the parking at 9:30am but things warmed rapidly when the sun came around onto the ice by 10am.  Temperatures were above freezing at the top of the climbs in the direct sun.  As others have noted there was a strong temperature inversion between valley bottom and the alpine today.

Snivelling Gully’s lower pitches are still in good shape and the running water can be seen but avoided on the second pitch.  The last pitch however, is deteriorating rapidly, and for the most part delaminating from the rock except for a narrow section on the very far right.
