[MCR] Rockies, Mt Lefroy, Mt Victoria South Summit

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Guided Mt Lefroy from Abbot Pass on July 22nd, the route is about as  
good as it gets -good step kicking all the way to within a couple of  
ropelengths from the top, then there are a few ice strips and  
patches. Watched a determined recreational party, we'll call them Big  
Jim and his sidekick, Wayne, go to the top of Victoria via the South  
Ridge that day. They were gunning for Huber, and the ledges, and I  
can only assume that they were Victorious (gotta love that pun!).

July 23rd my guest and I climbed to the South Summit of Victoria  
(just before the Sickle). Snow and ice patches make the route a bit  
of a chore right now but it will only get better with the forecasted  
heat, as Lefroy gets icier. Amazing brockenspectre on Victoria that day:
