[MCR] Little Yoho

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Up in the Little Yoho region since June 29 and back today with a Yamnuska group. The trails to Stanley Mitchell and out the Ice line are all in good shape and unaffected by the recent big downpour. We climbed both McArthur and the Vice President & found generally good snow cover on the glacier and minimal boot penetration. Many crevasses are still covered enough to be hard (invisible) to see and had an un-nerving tendency to collapse as you approached them so a very tight rope seemed a good idea. The lack of any recent freeze made it a good idea for early starts and to climb in the shade as much as possible.
