[MCR] Brewer Buttress

Climbed the route yesterday and found it to be in great shape with no wet rock and enough snow on the descent to make it easy on the knees.  

We did not need crampons but an axe is necessary to safely descend the gully, which is melting out quickly and will soon pose  an  increased risk of rockfall.

Plenty of running water to fill the bottles and a couple of snow patches lingering around the hut.  Currently there are 8 bottles of propane up there so it is well stocked.  

Happy Canada Day...have fun!
