[MCR] Lake Louise Group, Mount Aberdeen

Headed up Mount Aberdeen today. A very good freeze made cramponing up to the initial ice tongue fast. The bergschrund is holding in there, with a supported ramp crossing over it. The forecasted warm weather could change this in the next week. The upper face leading to the Haddo-Aberdeen col still has 40-80cm of supportive snow overlying the ice, so digging was required for ice anchors. The descent down the SW bowl into Paradise Valley had snow patches to 2500m, making the descent more pleasant.
