[MCR] Mount Sir Donald Update

Hi Folks,

We've been getting heaps of requests for information on
 the Mt. Sir Donald NW Ridge route.  As you can see from the photos the 
ridge is looking good and is in condition for a dry ascent.  The Bypass 
route (for the descent) which facilitates a more efficient descent has 
significant snow and ice on it and isn't recommended until it is dry.  

A Parks Canada "A Climber's Descent Guide to Mount Sir Donald" .pdf 
document is very close to completion and should be officially released 
perhaps by the end of today or soon after.  We will post this new 
updated description on another MCR as soon as possible with the document
 attached as well as the link to the Parks Canada site.  In the meantime
 we will send the doc by request via email or you can drop by the 
Roger's Pass Discovery Centre at the Roger's Pass itself or 
alternatively at the Parks Canada Revelstoke office to procure a paper 
copy.

Recent photos from a flight I took 2 days ago.  Photos attached below.  

Enjoy the great summer weather!
