[MCR] fragile daggers and pillars

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Today Lilla Molnar and I observed a class 2 ice avalanche over top of  
upper weeping pillar as we were approaching. This originated from  
daggers near the top of the climb on the left side. There are still  
daggers on the climbers right side, although they appear (from a  
distance) to be attached to the rock. The debris piled at the base of  
the climb.
It was -24ºC when we left the car at the weeping wall at 9 am. The sun  
was on the climbs in that area from 10:30  - 3pm.

I also heard that the French Maid pillar snapped off last night, -16ºC  
at the road early this morning in that area.

Take care out there and be wary of overhead daggers and pillars.
