[MCR] SW Ridge of Esmeraldo, Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park, Sept 1, 2012

Climbed the SW Ridge of Esmeraldo Peak in Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park today. A good freeze, cool temps and a few flakes in the air but the rock is dry and in good condition.

The snow on the glacier stayed quite firm through the day. Crampons would be recommended for any steeper snow travel in the area.

Cheers, Conrad Janzen
