> Hello MCR Subscribers,
>
> Up to 10cm of new snow above 3000m on Athabasca today made for good travel
> conditions up the Silverhorn and down the ramp route. Weather was mostly
> sunny with light to moderate winds from the SW. The bergschrund is still
> easily passable and we protected the climbing with ice screws in good alpine
> ice.
> The new snow is bonding well to the old snow/ice surface and we did not
> encounter winds slabs in the alpine where we travelled. However, the new snow
> was moistening in the early afternoon and from safety of the lower morraines
> we witnessed a size 1 point release avalanche that swept the right side of
> the Silverhorn.
