[MCR] Rockies - 3 Roofs / Guides Rock & Direttissima / Yamnuska

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Hey All,
We've been rock guiding in the Bow Valley this week and just a few observations to pass on. 
Guided an ascent of the route, Three Roofs on Guides Rock early this week. Despite the wet weather, the route was dry and we saw nor heard any rockfall during the day.
Yesterday we were aiming for an ascent of Direttissima on Yamnuska. Arrived early and despite the rainy day on Monday the face looked dry and didn't appear to be seeping or wet. We started up the initial few pitches with the face quiet, but as the wind started to increase so did the rockfall. We had two volleys sail overtop of us in short succession, big enough that the individual rocks could have done some real damage if we'd been hit.
We quickly rappelled the route, and moved down the West end to climb the route Western Union to finish off the day. Good conditions there, still windy but dry and no rockfall given the differences in the terrain at the top outs I'm assuming.
Heads up and have fun!
