[MCR] Green Angel - Ghost Ice Climb

My partner and I climbed Green Angel today in the South Ghost.

 

The lower part of the climb is in good shape, but the last few meters of narrow ice before you reach the bolted anchor has broken off.  This makes for some tricky moves 5 meters or so above your last decent spot for ice protection.  You cannot see this missing strip from the ground so just a heads up.
