[MCR] Sorcerer/Murchison

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

> Climbed the Sorcerer (1st picture) a couple of days ago and found great conditions with mostly one swing tool placements and good gear throughout the route.  There was a small cornice forming up on the climbers left side at the top.  
> 
> The driving was quite good except for 2 creek crossings that had substantial ice shelves to get over.  If you looked around a bit before you committed there were better spots to cross rather than where the tracks took you.
> 
> 
> We climbed Murchison (2nd picture) the following day and found brittle ice that required quite a bit of cleaning.  Good protected belay spots could be found and 70m ropes would have been nice for this route.  There were no large daggers or cornices present.
> 
> The slope leading up to the base of the route had previously avalanched which made for decent walking through the big boulders.  Both Lessons of Oka and But, My Daddy’s a Psycho looked to be in good shape.
