[MCR] Miner's Gully

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

After a late start and expecting terrible skiing in Miner's gully, at
12 noon we dropped, surprisingly, into dry snow top to bottom and OK
conditions on Miner's Gully/aka Canmore Couloir today.

If you want to use the sturdy tree to get over the cliff band bring a
30m rope (mine was 15m...). Marco's strategy of bumsliding must have
been more attractive with 40cm low density snow for a landing. The
twig I used as an anchor for the (repositioned) cordelette might not
last much longer, see attached. Or go the long way around.
