[MCR] Weeping Wall RH - Jan 31st, 2014

Subject: [MCR] Weeping Wall RH - Jan 31st, 2014

We climbed the weeping wall RH today. The ice was still holding up, some sun affected ice on the more southerly facing pillars but easy to find good ice and protection. Sun hits the wall around 1030 and although it was -20 at the car this morning, once the sun came around, climbing conditions were comfortable. The ice was dry and not too brittle. 

Somehow, we managed to get our rope stuck on the second rappel on the right side bolted rappels. The knot was untied, but the rope must have twisted around itself or retied itself into a knot. If anyone picks up our rope tmrw (Saturday Feb. 1st), we would greatly appreciate it if it was returned (Please call Banff Dispatch at 403 762 1470). Thanks.
