Enjoyed a hot summer day guiding alongside Fred Amyot on the NW Ridge of Sir Donald . We used our ice axes on the approach to the Uto-Sir Donald col but with the warm temperatures crampons were not needed. We descended using the West Face Bypass route and this option is mainly dry and in good shape. A few meters of snow to cross in one spot but this should be gone soon. No rockfall observed. A great day to be up high!
