[MCR] Valley of the Birds - Ghost Wilderness

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

My guests and I enjoyed an excellent day of climbing in the Valley of the Birds today, Jan 26th.
We climbed Dead Bird and Yellow Bird.  Dead Bird was thin but protectable with mostly 13cms screws.  Yellow Bird upper and lower were in fantastic shape.

We walked to but did not climb The Seagull and The Eagle but both looked to be in good shape as well.

The ice shelf at the blue bridge on the drive in was frozen solid today so no tricky maneuvering to get around that section.  The rest of the driving was pretty casual for a stock 4x4 Toyota 4 runner.
