This website has some better photos: linkThis facebook page shows a good video: linkAfter our major heat wave last week, I'm not totally surprised about Mt Robson having some flooding ... but I'm absolutely gobsmacked at how bad it was. I've only ever seen main trail at the bridge by Kinney Lake flooded once, and that was after 2 days of crazy rain (after a extended hot weather steak - but not anywhere near as hot as it was last week). The level of water in the video is off the chart to what we had experienced back in 2011. I can't overstate how absolutely crazy that amount of water is for Mt Robson ... especially at Kinney Lake. We saw temperature records absolutely demolished last week, and this week is hot as well (but 9C cooler - which is actually still very hot for us). Now we're getting a ton of wildfires all across BC ... so anything to the east is gonna be getting some smoke. You're welcome.

I know the country well having summited a number of mountains in the area and it is extremely rugged. There are numerous areas with great trails and even off trail areas that are relatively safe to solo in. However, to peak bag by yourself in that kind of country seems less than wise to me regardless of how experienced you are. One slip and you’re in serious trouble. My guess is a tragic fall took place.
