[MCR] Carlsberg Column, Field, November 24th, 2015

We climbed Carlsberg Column in Field today.‎ The route is in, but thinner than normal and the bottom third is wet, so bring gore-tex. We were able to find good protection with full length screws. 

We bailed on our original plan to climb Twisted, which looks in good shape, because the Yoho Blow was pumping and we were worried about fresh windslabs on the approach. 

~5 cm's new snow this AM with moderate E winds causing lots of small spindrift avalanches on Mt. Stephen. Skies were clearing and winds dying as we left midday.

We also climbed Guiness yesterday, which was in, but thinner than normal making it runout at the top of the last pitch. Heads up walking between pitches as there are still unfrozen rocks that could accidentally be dislodged.
