[MCR] Bugaboos- South Howser Tower Descent

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

A new descent has been established on the South Howser Tower which avoids
rappelling directly under the cornice early season and follows a
significantly cleaner line than the old route.   The route was completed
last summer but the topo needed to get tested before it was sent out.  This
is the latest version and incorporates much of the feedback from last
summer.

It is important to note that the descent is set up to be done with one 60m
rope and is best descended this way due to the off fall line nature of
following the steep ridge.  A couple of the 30m raps are real rope
stretchers and may require a move or two of downclimbing if your rope is a
³short² 60m.
