From: Public Mountain Conditions Report <mcr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: mcr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 12:24:23 PM Subject: [MCR] Yamnuska West End, Bow Valley, Alberta I guided a rambling quest to reach the Pony Express/Western Union prow on the West End of Yamnuska on July 14th. On the journey we encountered what I would judge to be a significant quantity of new, large loose features on the West End. Especially concerning to me was a huge flake that makes up the right wall of the second pitch chimney of Unnamed route, which has now completely detached and is resting precariously against a chockstone. This week I also observed a large number of people arriving at the base of popular multi-pitch crags without their helmets already on. In a game of rock-paper-skull, rock always wins!
