15cm Of New Snow

Mount Athabasca And A2

Climbing Conditions

Just a quick report after we had three guides exam groups out on the Silverhorn and A2 from the Athabasca-Boundary col. The new snow is bonding well and got a bit moist when the sun came out in the afternoon. The many open crevasses were still visible with the small amount of snow but the glacier travel can be a bit challenging in spots where the glaciers are very open.
