[MCR] Hudson Bay Mountain/ Glacier Gulch

On a hike toward the glacier today, I found the ice climbable on both main
falls in Glacier Gulch. The other routes vary. The middle falls, which are
great for teaching, are not reaching down and unusable.

There were 35 cm of snow at timberline (1150 m). Two crusts interspersed with
facets, some buried old surface hoar 12 cm down. Wind effect in alpine. No skiing.
