Mountain Conditions Report

<p>Went for an exploratory climb via the "Single Bench" Couloir on Mt Tupper on Saturday, May 27. Excellent booting and cramponing from 1280m to the col at 2650m. </p> <p>Descended North via multiple rappels and icy frontpointing to the Tupper Glacier.</p> <p>Good corn skiing from the Tupper Glacier down the Hermit Meadows Campground where quality deteriorated rapidly. </p> <p>Notes:<br /> The West Ridge of Mt Tupper appeared to be dry enough for an early ascent, but skis would be ideal for the descent. </p> <p>The West Face and NW Ridge Routes on Mt Macdonald appeared to be in optimal condition for an early season ascent and descent on snow via the Herdman.</p>
