Hi All,

Quick climb up Redline Peak yesterday revealed good and fun snow and ice climbing, summiting well before the sun hits the slopes, after which, rock fall hazards climb rapidly. Access via McDonald Creek is currently excellent to Redline Peak. To Farnham Tower you will need a high clearance vehicle to cross the creek where the bridge had been removed a couple of years back.  The Tower is completely free of snow and looks to be in great shape. The north face climbs on Mt Delphine are now out of condition.

Enjoy,
