[MCR] Yamnuska

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Climbed Western Union and the first bit of Broken Wing today (May 9) on Yamnuska. Both of these routes are dry and in good condition. However, a fair amount of snow and ice is lingering on the summit ridge and in protected chimneys, gullies, cracks and ledges. We saw lots of seeping water on the cliff and heard a large nasty-sounding rockfall in King's Chimney around midday. Avoiding the chimney and gully-style routes right now seems like a good idea until another week or two of warm temperatures can get rid of the snow and ice and reduce the rockfall potential. Have fun!
