[MCR] Mt. Biddle

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

We climbed Mt. Biddle yesterday Aug 23 by the standard West ridge.

Predominantly, the peak is dry, with the exception of a narrow ice strip,
about 100m long, that allows access to the Biddle/Park col (crampons
needed). It is possible to scramble around it on very chossy scree/rock. In
the same vein, overall the peak has remarkably loose rock, even by Rockies
standards. There are two stuck ropes at the start of the 5th class, likely
from a hasty retreat from a previous season.
