[MCR] Mount Sir Donald - August 16

Climbed Sir Donald NW Ridge with one client on August 16th.  Nice to have an ice axe on the approach to the col and on the descent on the summit by-pass.  Six parties on the route.  Perfect weather.  14 hours car to car.

 

Report of a party attempting the east face of Sir Donald, turning back due to the maze of seracs and crevasses.  They climbed the east ridge of Uto instead.
