[MCR] Mount Victoria Sept 11th

I guided Mount Victoria on September 11^th from Abbot Hut to the south summit, and descending the Huber Glacier and Huber Ledges to Lake O’Hara.  Conditions were excellent, it is very dry on the ridge.  We used crampons on the Sickle and descending the gully to the Huber Glacier.  Crossing the bergschrund onto the Huber Glacier was fairly easy.  I put in a v-thread to rappel across a fairly well bridged schrund.  There are still good schrund crossing points to ascend from the Huber Glacier onto Mount Victoria if you want to climb up that route.
