Hey All, 

A quick set of conditions updates from Simon Meis' recent trip in to Guide an ascent of the Japanese Route on Mount Alberta. A bit congratulations to both Simon and our Guest Andrea Koenig on a successful summit on August 11th!

From Simon:

I guided one client up the Japanese Route on Mount Alberta a week ago reaching the summit on August 11th.

Just back from a few days chasing climbable ice on the parkway with a couple of gems, Phil Widmer and Greg McKee. We spent a night at Rampart Creek after exploring routes in Haffner Creek, and in and around Field BC as well as further north up the Icefields Parkway. Climbed a bit, got scared a lot, and told lies with Ken - the custodian and fixture up at Rampart. All in all a beauty of an early season trip.
