[MCR] Spray River Falls, Banff

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Climbed this today with Elisabeth and Al enjoying a clear, calm day.  The route 
is fat and wet.  We approached by going into the forest at the first sharp 
switchback heading downhill, and stayed in the forest on the right side of the 
gully until small cliff bands forced us into the drainage ~100m below the climb.

No signs of any significant avalanche hazard with todays cool, calm weather, 
although the main hazard is out of sight all day.  Some small sluffs/slides have 
come down the gully above the climb in the past weeks.  No significant 
slabbing and about 20cm of facetted snow around the climb itself.  


Really nice day for climbing except for how wet and frozen the ropes were by the 
end.  Haven't had it that bad in a while. Cheers, Conrad Janzen
