Got scooped on Polar Circus today, Feb 13, so we backtracked to Murchison Falls. A big ol' track leading to big ol' blue waterfall. Overall seemed a little harder than when I was there last month (Jan 18). Lots of ice growing, we had fresh tracks on the first 3 pitches on reformed ice surfaces. We climbed the prominent groove/chimney for the final 30 meters of the route (just climber's left of centre) and can recommend it. Good steep climbing with stemming and good gear.
Happy trails, Barry Blanchard UIAGM/IFMGA Mountain Guide 1 403 609 4615 cell 1 403 609 1321
