[MCR] Rockies: Huber/Victoria/Lefroy

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

We climbed the Huber Ledges to Mts Huber and Victoria on Aug 15,  
descending the SE Ridge of Vic, and the today the W Face of Lefroy  
with a descent down the N Ridge to the Fuhrmann Ledge.

Mt Huber was icy on its N side and we did several pitches on ascent.  
We descended the slopes to the Huber/Vic col and they were snowier  
but got quite soft early in the day. The gully up to Vic is still  
chock-full of snow and the bergschrund crossing is easy. The ridge on  
Vic was crampons between the summit to past the sickle.

Lefroy is still snowy, we only climbed about 10 m of ice. The  
Fuhrmann ledge is dry.

The storm of last week gave a fair bit of new snow to the upper part  
of the peaks, although it has melted off the rocks it refreshed the  
snow and ice sections.
