[MCR] Ranger Ck

Sunday -- R&D, fat and plastic, good screws and in good shape for the grade (WI4)

Today (Wed) -- Lone Ranger, Chalice and the Blade - both in WI4 condition, Lone Ranger is a little stiff for the grade (1st pitch WI3+,40m, 2nd pitch WI3,60m). C&B a little soft for the grade even on hardest line. Both fat and plastic with good screws.

Not much snow yet (10 cm?) but deep drifting in gullies and lee aspects. We were not concerned about avalanche hazard today with the current conditions on these climbs, but a good dump or two could change things.

Regards,
