Guided an ascent of Athabasca North Face today. In general, conditions on
the face were excellent. The first half over the bergschrund provided quick
travel with bucket steps. Above this, good ice could be had through the crux
with solid screws for protection. Of note, however, was the isothermal
snowpack which started about 100 meters below the Silverhorn. The descent
was also quite sloppy down the AA Col.

Cheers,
Andrew
