I went and climbed the North Face of Athabasca with a guest yesterday August
21. Despite the warm temps at 02:45 a.m (11 degrees at parking lot) there was
a good freeze from the clear night. The Face is still in great condition. We
had strong wind all day which kept things cold. The Seracs to climbers left
of Silverhorn was active and released some big blocks twice while we were high
on the face.
Cheers,
