Mt. Chief Pascal

Warm sunny day in the Duffy's. Most of the climb was spent wearing a t-shirt. Skin track up was hard and crusty due to freeze thaw cycles so crampons are recommended. We descended at a small couloir because the skin tracks to Mt. Chief Pascal on the steep, south-facing slope were icy and since we did not have crampons, we determined it was too risky. The snow in the alpine was light and fluffy powder, however, once we descended to treeline the snow was denser due to partial melting.
