Climbed Bourgeau Left today. Generally good conditions on the climb - some snice in sections especially on the crux last pitch made for a particularly challenging lead. Wind slabs were well formed both above and below the route, but didn't appear inclined to propagate just yet. Still worth keeping an eye on.

On the drive home, noted several point release slides on N aspects of Mt Rundle, with one notable track visible above the climb Sacre Bleu. Unsure how recent these are.
