[MCR] Sir Donald

Climbed Uto and Sir Donald the last two days.  No axe or crampons needed on ascent or descent.

Of note, was a few significant rockfall events over the Bypass.  We witnessed two loud rockfalls that seemed to come from the summit cone over the bypass, both occurred in the evening and apparently another one happened the night before we got there.  

We took the bypass descent (at around 11am), and noticed a good section of it maybe (50 meters) was a big scree field that didn't have a trail through it.  I can't remember if this is normal or if it was due to the rockfall.

Good conditions otherwise and crazy evening thunderstorms!
