| Had a partner from Australia this day, making this a non solo climb, which was a nice reprieve. These June snow conditions, as reflected via the photos, are extremely unusual. The entire Canadian Rockies from Kananaskis to Jasper National Park has far more snow and ice than I have ever witnessed in June.
I do enjoy these wintry like conditions on scrambles as they serve as solid preparation for more technical summer alpine climbs. However, most alpine climbs are rated as extreme avalanche danger as of June 20, 2005. Cheers!
