[MCR] Rockies, Kidd Falls

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

My fellow Mountain Guide, Eric Dumerac, and I climbed Kidd Falls  
today, Dec 1st. The route is in great shape with good ice and  
protection the whole way. Above treeline thin wind slabs (10-40cms  
thick), that are mostly firm enough to crampon on top of, are sitting  
on 5-10 cms of rotten dry sugar snow (facets). I'd be wary of any  
open slopes steep enough to slide. We encountered no slopes steep  
enough to slide on the approach, or descent.

Happy trails,
