Enjoyed mild temps on Sacre Bleu today with Craig McGee. The mountain biking and approach trail is about as good as it gets with very little snow to contend with. We followed the treed shoulder right of the main drainage for as high as we could go before easily moving left, into the drainage to access the lower pitches. The first 60m are quite thin and require a few moves on rock with very little for protection. Although wet, the upper pitches climbed and protected well. 

No signs of avalanches activity but it was easy to trigger small pockets of windslab on a faceted base in benign terrain. Should be interesting when it starts to snow again.
