[MCR] Murchison

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

> I climbed murchison today in a team of 3 on the left side and a team of

two climbed the right side.

> The trail was blown in above treeline and required some knee deep

post-holing to get to the base of the route.

> The route is mostly blue and not too Sun affected.

> There is a dagger and a cornice threatening the left side of the route,

caution on a sunny day.

> We had a cloudy day with spin drift on the last pitch.

> Some of the v-threads were very melted out.

> We observed several ice avalanches from an active serac across the

highway.

> We noticed that the mountains on the west side of the highway were

considerably snowier than the east side.

> No avalanches observed at bow summit area, but a Na 2.0 slab, ran by the

ice climb called political world, with dirt in the track.

> Not much new snow at the highway elevation, but lots of transport at

ridge top.

>

> Happy spring :)
