Conditions report

Location
Mt. Andromeda - Rockies

Good climbing conditions on Skyladder today. Mostly boot top travel in moist snow. No overnight freeze the last 2 nights but travel is excellent in most areas and there is good snow coverage on the glaciers. Lots of people climbing on Athabasca, A2 and Andromeda in the area over the past few days. Still a few looming cornices over routes like the practice gullies and north bowl on Andromeda.

I would be cautious on steeper faces with the warm weather forecast this week. Be mindful of overnight temps and daytime warming. Lots of snow on the faces.
