[MCR] Rockies, Wilcox Peak, A2

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

I guided Wilcox Peak on Sept 18th in pretty much dry conditions, but  
the last couple of days will have changed that to snow covered.

Sept 19th we climbed A2 via the lower north Little Athabasca Glacier.  
As noted by Rob Owens travel was good for us to about 9500 feet (the  
Athabasca/Boundary Peak Col). Contouring around the upper Boundary  
Glacier we started with mid shin penetration and that deepened to  
knee below the Athabasca/A2 Col, hard work.

Sept 20th, snowing when we left at 2:00 pm. A couple of centimetres  
accumulated on the toe of the Athabasca Glacier.

Happy trails,
