[MCR] Glacier Gulch ice (Bulkley Valley)

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Lucas Holtzman and I climbed an unnamed line in the trees on the 
climber's right side of Glacier Gulch. The main falls are in and look 
great, but we did not go underneath the 1800 vertical metres of shallow 
cold wind affected snow above them. There was no evidence of recent 
avalanche activity. It was -11 all day and the ice fairly brittle, but 
thick. We recommend to leave avalanche exposed terrain of the scale to 
be found in Glacier Gulch alone for now. There is a lot of good ice 
without that.
