[MCR] Rockies, Mt Louis Kain Route

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

I guided an ascent of the Kain Route on Mt Louis yesterday, August  
12th. The route is in great shape with one snowpatch sitting in the  
base of the east face coulior that is easily avoided. We wore light  
mountain boots, but the route could be approached comfortably in  
approach shoes, as the name would suggest, and as my fellow guide,  
Jay Mills', quest did yesterday on the Gmoser Route. It would be  
possible to scrounge some water on the descent, but it would take  
some patience.

Lots of water streaking the routes on the north side of Edith  
yesterday, picture below.

Happy trails,
