[MCR] Rockies, July 10th, 2012, Mt. Lefroy

After a BIG thunderstorm last night it rained lightly at Abbot pass till approx 1am. Warm breeze this morning so we had boot top trail breaking up Lefroy. Snow travel almost all the way and the ice shouldn't appear in big sheets for awhile yet.
 
Descended the Death trap to Lake Louise but I think that will be my only trip down there this summer. The seracs seem more menacing and the volume of debris in the trap backs this up. Furhman ledges will be in good shape soon.
 
Victoria still looks really snowy and was spitting some big sloughs by 9am. By 10 the sloughs would knock your house over. Well, my house anyways.
