G-spotter Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 [MCR] Icefields Area Subject: [MCR] Icefields Area Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2009 11:02:24 -0600 Went hiking the previous two days in the Columbia Icefields area and noticed a lot of change in terms of ice / snow conditions since my trip to Mt. Athbasca last week. The glaciers and ice faces have turned to their usual mid - summer shape: Only the upper parts of the Athabasca North Glacier looks snow snow covered, Sliverhorn North Face looks largely icey now, the Skyladder on Andromeda looks out of condition with lots of bare rock between the ice and foreseeable rock fall hazard. Generally speaking, the weather on Monday and Tuesday was very unsettled with lots of rain showers, at times heavy...

Le Piston Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 You might try the Sunwapta warden/ranger at 780-852-5383 to get an update. I've also gotten responses via e-mail regarding conditions. The last time I was up there Skyladder was looking pretty thin. Ask about the descent, I hear the AA col can be tricky. Good luck and hope this helps. Quote
