Fellow Yamnuska guide Carl Johnston and I guided Louise Falls today.
It was a busy holiday Monday with 6 guided teams and 2 recreational parties.
P1 and P2 climb well on wet plastic ice. It's is still possible to traverse
behind the pillar. The left side of the pillar (P3) is very wet unconsolidated
chandelier ice that is steep and difficult to protect. The right side is still
climbing well. It has flowed and healed; the first party up experienced fresh
ice. P4 is very hooked out and dry.
About 5cm fresh snow in the parking lot this am.
