<p>Report sent to Parks Canada from a party on Polar Circus: Two of us climbed Polar Circus, Friday (yesterday). It lightly snowed for most of the morning and then the sun popped out. Some wind. Our approach through to the top was uneventful. On the descent, there were some small avalanches between the top of the pencil and the final pitch. The path and all our tracks were lost (not to be found). The pencil approach had a few chunks and so did the approach to the traditional first pitch. The path to the first pitch was obliterated with chunks as much as 24" in diameter.</p>
