[MCR] Rockies: Mt Cline North Ridge

We climbed the north ridge of Mt Cline yesterday Sept 15.

Trails into the route and out from the descent are fairly well-defined and in good shape.

Good quality ice was found in the initial couloir that leads to the first summit and in the final goulotte up the summit block. The rock in between was dry. The descent (regular route) is in good shape but the snow slopes that bypass the sub-peak are just starting to ice up.

The north ridge is an interesting route that would be popular if it were in the Lake Louise group.
