[MCR] Rogan's Gully

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Guided Rogan's Gully today, Jan 24th. From the first bolted anchor  
the route traverses right towards a tree. Above said tree the ice is  
narrow and has been chunked away until it is now about as big as my  
thigh. Some delicacy  -tapping tools in rather than swinging, and  
careful stepping, may keep the ice in there for a while longer. When  
this piece of ice is gone it'll mean bypassing on the rock -not as  
much fun.

We climbed the right hand variation at the top, then rapped down and  
climbed the left variation too. On the left variation we climbed up  
30 meters then gained the rock rib on climber's right with trees for  
runners, then onto the top of the right hand variation. Fun mixed  
climbing at a very moderate level -M 1?

Happy trails
