[MCR] Lake Louise Falls

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Up the Falls today on a very busy Monday. -18C in the parking lot at  
0700, high of -15C at noon. Unlike the blizzard on the drive in from  
Canmore, calm to variable light winds all day at the Lake, with about  
10cm in our tracks by the time it had stopped on the way out .

The pillar is as much of a pegboard as I can ever remember, so not  
much swinging required through the crux. Just enough ice for screws  
amongst the usual swiss cheese. LOTS of recent storm snow  
accumulation to wallow up mid-route on the right side as well as  
above the route, with several small sluffs down the route as we were  
topping out. The donkey trail down is in decent shape with a few,  
steep, hard-packed sections on old debris. Off-trail boot penetration  
was bottomless, with isolated pockets of soft slabbing.
