[MCR] Squamish ice conditions/Rainy day woman

Bruce Kay and I went looking for ice in Squamish today after hearing rumors of some climbable routes. 

We didn't find that much that was actually thick enough to climb and we looked around quite a bit. We did manage to climb Rainy day woman. The climb is in quite good shape although the last pitch wasn't in yet. The first pitch was very thin as usual (1/2- 2 inches thick), however it took excellent small to med cams and wires off to the side in the crack. The second pitch took 13cm screws and a med size cam. Looks like things are about to get really good!
