[MCR] Louise Falls

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

I guided Louise Falls today, Jan 22nd. A surprisingly quiet day with only one other party showing up at the crack of noon for the afternoon shift. 

It was calm and -8c at the base at 0800. The line we took, up the middle more or less, is dry and in good shape. It seems as though the ice on this route has recovered from the latest cold snap and we did not hear or feel any odd sounds or deep fractures while climbing.

The freshly carved ice sculptures behind the chateau are also in good shape and the crowds were out today to enjoy the festivities. 

I have pics of the climb posted at

Play safe,
