Bonney traverse

Mountain Conditions Report

<p>Hey guys.<br /> Jacob and I took advantage of the good weather and stability to do the Bonney traverse over the 21st and 22nd. </p> <p>Route: We started up the Asulkan and finished the original exit out to flat creek. </p> <p>Conditions:<br /> On all gaciers travelled we probed 3+ meters and very dense snowpack overall.<br /> Glaciers have good coverage and glacier travel overall was straight forward. </p> <p>Cornices are large. On the ascent up the S face of Swanzy we choose the most conservative route far climbers right to minimize time under very large cornices. We noted 1 large size 2.5 windslab from a cornice release off the East side of bonney.<br /> Tempratures Ranged from -20 on the morning of the 22nd to well above<br /> zero in the afternoon in valley bottom. </p> <p>Ski quality was very good overall with minimal wind effect.<br /> Have a great weekend!</p> <p>Darren Vonk Alpine guide<br /> Jacob Dans Apprentice Alpine guide</p>
