[MCR] Mt. Yamnuska: Grillmair Chimneys

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

To celebrate the balmy weather (before the snow returns next week), we
climbed Grillmair Chimneys on Yam on Saturday.  We saw a couple of other
parties up there, but overall pretty quiet.

 

Warm enough in the sunshine for t-shirts, but still chilly in the shade.
Route is in excellent condition with only a couple of shallow snow pockets
in the gullies, easily avoided.

 

Bring sturdy footwear for the walk off the backside - there are some pretty
icy sections in the late afternoon. Instep crampons could even come in
handy...
