[MCR] Urs Hole, Cascade Mountain, Banff, November 20, 2014

The Urs Hole route on Cascade Mtn is in very good shape right now with some fun maneuvering around, over and under all the snow plugs of avalanche debris in the narrows from the last several years. Quite unique.

The left hand finish is in good shape with good protection. The right hand finish has some funky mushroom climbing to keep you entertained.

All anchors have recently been updated and a single 60m rope works well.

Little or no avy hazard on the route right now...until the next snowfall.
