[MCR] Rockies, King Creek

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

I guided in King Creek today, March 15. All three ice flows are in  
fine shape. We climbed the second pitch of the furthest upstream  
route and can recommend it, a fine short piece of technical climbing.

We climbed Magic Touch last Wednesday and it is in good shape with  
good ice leading into the mixed climbing. Looked better today with  
less snow cover.

The approach trails is doing well, but I'd be wary of all the west  
facing slide paths on the first sunny day that we get now that spring  
is here. I think that they will all run into the creek on that day. I  
was watching the paths on both sides of the creek on the way in and out.

Happy trails,
