Climbed Cascade Kronenbourg via the bolted mixed line Shooter Bar today with my
guests Al and Elisabeth.
-8, cloudy, and calm winds on the backroad in Field today. Up to 30cm of new
snow in open areas near the base and between pitches. No slab properties in the
snow where we travelled today, below treeline.
The route seems to climb and protect well at M6 WI6 with some good hooks
through the roof on the second pitch. Large daggers do threaten the approach
and the first pitch, so something to watch out for during significant
temperature changes.
