MCR Observation

Mountain Conditions Report

<p>Scott Mckay and I climbed the Kain route on Louie yesterday and found, over all dry conditions on the accent and small snow patches and running water on the lower rappels. </p> <p>On the approach once you exit the forest and start the traverse below the impressive east face of Mt Edith, the winters Avalanche cycle took a large swath out of that forest, making for easy open walking, Once you jump over all the broken down tree's on the sides. </p> <p>OF NOTE* bolts on the perran variation seem to come and go. Currently there are 3-4 bolts missing that have hangers removed and have been hammered in. In the crack the pitons still exists and some gear options. </p> <p>Bolt belays seem to all be in place and in good repair. </p> <p>On decent there is currently snow from just below the rappels that goes all the way down to valley bottom, makes for a speedy decent back to the valley!</p> <p>Enjoy!</p>
