[MCR] Mount Sir Donald Update

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Hi Folks,

We've been getting heaps of requests for information on the Mt. Sir Donald
NW Ridge route.  As you can see from the photos the ridge is looking good
and is in condition for a dry ascent.  The Bypass route (for the descent)
which facilitates a more efficient descent has significant snow and ice on
it and isn't recommended until it is dry.

A Parks Canada "A Climber's Descent Guide to Mount Sir Donald" .pdf
document is very close to completion and should be officially released
perhaps by the end of today or soon after.  We will post this new updated
description on another MCR as soon as possible with the document attached
as well as the link to the Parks Canada site.  In the meantime we will send
the doc by request via email or you can drop by the Roger's Pass Discovery
Centre at the Roger's Pass itself or alternatively at the Parks Canada
Revelstoke office to procure a paper copy.

Recent photos from a flight I took 2 days ago.  Photos attached below.

Enjoy the great summer weather!
