[MCR] Rockies-Mt Joffre-July 12th

Just back from Joffre. Pretty good conditions up onto the glacier but the fun stops at the base of the North face. The upper 1/2 of the North face is bare ice leading onto scree. Not pleasant looking and the exit from that ice to the scree above might be interesting. We climbed the lower snowy face and then went right onto the skyline which was easy but deeply chossy. Down the same way.That snowy lower face is melting fast and won't be snowy much longer unless things cool dramatically.
