[MCR] Rockies, Spray River Falls

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

I guided an ascent of Spray River Falls today, Jan 6th. The route is in great shape, big and blue, with some water running on all pitches, but lots of dry ice too. There is a good hard pack trail, and preserved line of up steps, leading to the climb. Several surface sloughs to size 1 (large enough to bury your dog, but not you) in the dry cold surface snow (facets -dry sugar-like snow).

A fine day on a grand route.

Happy trails,
