[MCR] Banff Ice Climb: Rogan's Gully

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Went to Rogan's Gully yesterday afternoon after the ice looked surprisingly
good from the highway. As we found out, quite a while ago, a wet avalanche
had run down about 2/3rds of the gully and turned the narrow and sometimes
disconnected crux pitch ice into a pleasant frozen snow climb (see attached
image). Some of the lower angle ice at the start as well as the final pitch
are still in good shape. Even Cascade (which recently re-formed) appeared
STILL climbable yesterday but would probably not be a good objective on a
warm day. 

Enjoy the spring!
