[MCR] Canmore Junkyards and Johnston Canyon

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Junk Yards are in pretty good early season shape, with both lines of the
Scottish Gully being in, although the left line is lean and "mixed" at the
bottom. The main face is still lacking the steep curtain below the
characteristic tree but the rest looked in good shape.

 

Johnston today with a little bit of sun in the early pm and temps warming to
-5C. Surprisingly, the main water fall is currently well doable and
relatively easy to get to, most likely a result if the recent 5 days of deep
freeze, which was also responsible for the massive debris at the bottom of
the "curtain wall". The left most of the steep columns survived the cold
snap and was lead today by someone more courageous than me but it can also
be relatively easily accessed from the top platform to set up a top rope.
The right side offers a number of moderate lines with the top being too thin
for screws, but fortunately it's not very steep. 

 

Cheers,
