[MCR] Mt Lefroy, Rockies, July 12, 2014

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Excellent conditions on the West Face of Mt Lefroy this morning on a
training day with Kananaskis Public Safety. Easy crampon travel up firm
snow from Abbotts Pass to the summit ridge with only a couple steps on ice
along the way. The snow on the face is thinning out so there may be more
bare ice soon. The ridge to the summit was mostly dry rock.

It was possible kick steps up snow for most of the approach slopes to
Abbotts Pass in the morning which made for very quick travel. The final
100m was dry rock.

The descent down the Death Trap appears to be in good condition from a
distance but the crevasses are beginning to open up. The SE Ridge of Mt
Victoria is drying off fast and also looks to be in good shape.
