[MCR] Mt Huber/Athabasca Sept 11,12.

Excellent conditions on Mt Huber today, ledges were dry and quiet, glacier is still snow covered and easy travel, summit ridge traverse is boiler plate melt freeze crust.

 

Yesterday Mt Athabasca's A/A col route still had two all snow routes to the top of the head wall.

Unsupportive crust over moist snow with 30 cm foot pen below 9500 ft, good freeze and travel above.

The 40 cm of well settled recent snow on the North Ramp was bonding well.

No recent slab avalanche activity, some loose solar late in the day. 

Over all good conditions, most of the local routes seeing traffic.

 

Cheers.
