[MCR] Polar Circus

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Up the route yesterday and it is in good shape throughout.

Mostly dry and brittle but the upper tier had a few wet spots.  The new anchors are great (thank you!) although a few of them require some rock climbing to reach them.  This should sort itself out once the climb avalanches a few more times.

There was evidence of an old size 1.5 at  the base of the long pitch after the snow slope but other than that we didn't see any activity.

The traverse above the pencil now has a track in it but there is a lingering windslab in that area so careful evaluation is required.

Happy Holidays!
