[MCR] The Fist - Kananaskis Country - Rocky Mountains

Went up the "normal" route on the Fist today. One small patch of snow on ascent is easily avoidable, and no ice axe is needed. Rockfall was managed by re-grouping and moving through the terrain strategically (there is a lot of rockfall potential on this route!).

Conditions in this region are several weeks ahead of normal in terms of snow melt. Local peaks such as Birdwood, Commonwealth and Smuts look to be in good condition.

Play safe!
