[MCR] Mount Athabasca June 15th 2015

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Mount Athabasca 

Route: NE Ridge Bypass


Travel Conditions: 

Travel conditions on the mountain are excellent once again thanks to the recent cooling trends at night. Boot pen average 5-10cm on the approach to the North Face making for fast travel in the AM and held up well on the decent down the North Glacier (Normal Route)

Coverage is below average for this time of year and sagging bridges are visible all over the North Glacier. 

Route: 

NE Ridge Bypass. We crossed the bergschrund to the north face far climbers left with a well consolidated bridge and found a 30-40cm deep snow flute that allowed use to gain the ridge line with ease. The Scottish Gulley is chalked with snow making rock fall better to manage.  

About 15cm of resent storm snow has fallen at higher elevations. 

Nice day to be in the Mountains!
