Enjoyed mild temps on Sacre Bleu today with Craig McGee. The mountain biking
and approach trail is about as good as it gets with very little snow to contend
with. We followed the treed shoulder right of the main drainage for as high as
we could go before easily moving left, into the drainage to access the lower
pitches. The first 60m are quite thin and require a few moves on rock with very
little for protection. Although wet, the upper pitches climbed and protected
well.
No signs of avalanches activity but it was easy to trigger small pockets of
windslab on a faceted base in benign terrain. Should be interesting when it
starts to snow again.
