[MCR] Bear Spirit and Super Bock

HI all,

 

Bear Spirit (yesterday) ice and mixed crag has lots of great ice, not too wet, and most mixed lines except for a couple in the middle are still in good condition.

-------

Super Bock(today), on Mt. Stephen, is in great shape. Truly one of the best WI5 routes in the range and in my opinion the best route in all the Field area. It has nice plastic ice throughout, again not too wet, and deserves a good solid WI5.

 

As with many ice routes this time of year, I wouldn’t want to be on this one with the temperatures above freezing as there is overhead hazard. It is a good idea to check the forecasted temps, take a thermometer to check in on the progression of warming throughout the day, and get off the route as early in the day as possible.

 

Cheers,
