[MCR] Oh Le Tabernac

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

We were the first of two parties on Oh Le Tabernac today, Jan 26. The  
climb hadn't seen much traffic, if any, before today. Chandeliery ice  
for 25 meters, finding good screws a challenge. That section should  
be easier now with the passage of 5 climbers. The top 25 meters from  
the bolted anchors on the right side of the route was good, solid,  
steep ice. A curtain of ice right of the route sheared off when the  
sun swung around in the morning. We were careful not to belay, or  
hang out, under any hangers.

We walked up to Whoa Whoa Capitaine and Le Miserables but were too  
late in the day with too much sun and ice pieces falling from the  
sides. Bum slid down, rappeled, and walked away.

Happy trails,
