[MCR] Roguns Gully ice climb

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

My guest and I had a pleasant day on Roguns Gully today, November 25th. 

The second pitch, after the dog-leg, is missing ice at the start making it very tricky to overcome the 5m of smooth-as-a-baby's-bottom rock slab. A few knee scums and some hard to find dry tool placements were necessary to reach thin ice at the top of this section.  The remaining steep ice pitches were there an took good but short(mostly 13cm) screws. 
We opted for the walk off descent to the north and immediately down between Roguns and Cascade. There is some flag tape on a tree marking the start, and another further down marking the one rappel anchor.
