I guided an ascent of the N Ridge of Mt Assiniboine on Monday, Sept 22nd. The 
mountain is largely snow covered and we had crampons on for the top 5/6ths of 
the ascent. Good cold snow on the way up and frustrating snowballing onto our 
crampons on much of the way down. 14 hours hut to hut.

The Gmoser Highway was snow free on access, and egress as of today.

Happy trails,
