On February 29th I guided an ascent of Louise Falls. There are two main pillars
well formed although it didn't look to me like the right hand one had been
climbed. It would definitely be a grade harder than the left hand -where
everyone has been climbing. Little dagger threat on the climb right now. The
walk off trail is well established.
March 1st and 2nd (today) I guided ascents of the Right Side of the Weeping
Wall. The route is in fine shape with lots to stand on on the steepest passage.
The final pitch is probably the hardest right now with not much to stand on and
lots of being on your frontpoints.
The cold has repaired a lot of the first pitch of Snivelling Gully and it was
climbed on both days.
Happy trails,
Barry Blanchard
