[MCR] Massey's ice climb - Field

We climbed at Massey's today, Dec 11th with a group of 8. There was approx 5cms of new snow at valley bottom in this area that fell overnight on the 10th. Winds were calm in the valley, and there was little evidence of wind activity in the alpine today. No new avalanche observed.

We were able to get ropes up on a few lines today but keeping dry while climbing those lines was challenging. Bring lots of gloves and your goretex if you're headed that way.

Play safe,
