July 26 Sunday Drive from Bluff Lake to Vancouver
We have recently re-calibrated the possible route based on info from those who have been in the area recently
West Ridge is primarily a snow ascent…with same final approach as earlier (Bravo Glacier) route
The probability of summiting from Fury Gap camp appears to be significantly greater than from Rainy Knob
However, this needs to be weighed against the risks of delayed flying opportunities due to increased exposure to more variable weather conditions due to flying to the windward side of Waddington to reach Fury Gap camp
