[MCR] North Face Stanley Peak, Banff

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Ideal conditions on the north face of Stanley peak today: 5 - 40+cm of partially refrozen snow made for fast & secure travel.  We avoided all of the ice (climbing only on snow) and crossed the bergshrund easily by climbing from the lower right to upper left of the face.

No rockfall was observed today.  The sun hit the upper margins of the face around 8am, but the angle remained oblique and temperatures on the north side stayed cool and mostly shaded.
