[MCR] Mount Robson Area

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Over the past 8 days, the Berg Lake Ranger Station received 10mm of
precipitation in the form of snow above 3000m.

Prior to the dusting of new snow the conditions were as follows:

North Face:
-Blue ice right up through the rock bands to Emperor Ridge.
-The glacier travel from the top of the "Dog Buttress" to the base of the
face is looking challenging, and in recent years a few parties have turned
around due to the nature of the tricky glacier travel.

Kain Route:
-The Kain Face is looking very icy.
-The Robson Cirque appears to have mid-August like conditions in terms of
coverage, crevasses ect.
-The "Mouse Trap" looks as terrifying as ever!

South Side:
-The Schwarz Ledges (AKA The Black Ledges) are snow free.

Emperor Ridge:
-Appears to be snow free to where the angle tapers off and the "Gargoyle"
features start.

Cool temperatures and clear skies could offer decent conditions.
