[MCR] Wicked Wanda, South Ghost

I guided Wicked Wanda today, Dec 12. The first pitch was very fat, with good ice. The second pitch was funky, as usual. The easiest line on this pitch was up a strange ice tube that looked more solid from a distance than it actually was.

Other routes that are formed in the area include Malignant Mushroom and Sunshine. Aquarius is not formed right now, and neither are the routes in the Recital Hall.

Of note, there is a truck-eating hole in the ice across a drainage getting into the South Ghost. This hole will be problematic until the surface ice freezes solid again.

Take care,
