[MCR] Rockies, traverse of Mt Yamnuska

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Guided the Yamnuska Traverse from east to west today. 5-10 cms of  
snow on the back side that had a crust and was actually good step  
kicking, but will get icy with more traffic. The front side of the  
mountain dried off nicely today and is good to go for climbing. We  
saw a party half way up the route 'Yamabushi', which I hear recently  
got downgraded to 5.12d so we can all get on it now ... HA!HA!HA!

Saw some fresh black bear tracks halfway up the trail to the east end  
this morning. Bow hunters are about so wear something bright, and  
make some noise for the bears, and the bow hunters.

Happy trails,
