[MCR] Mt Assiniboine

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Hello Everyone,

Just returned from an attempt on Mt Assiniboine this past Saturday. We made it to the top of the red band in thick cloud and drizzle with strong gusting winds and opted to return to the Hind Hut. Over all the mountain is in good shape and we managed not to use crampons up to our high point and it looked like the upper ridge was fairly dry after the storm. 

We accessed the Hind Hut from the Magog Lake/Assiniboine Lodge side and used the snow gully, the Gmoser highway has a lot of  running water and steep unsupported snow patch's looming around.

The 2 attached pics were taken Sunday morning.

Have fun out there,
