[MCR] Whiteman Falls, Redman Soars

Climbed Whiteman Falls and Redman Soars with Royal Laybourn on Wednesday,
March 8.

Redman has a typical amount of ice, but it is dry and sublimated.
Fortunately, old pick-holes lessen the amount of dinner-plating.

Whiteman Falls is easier than usual, with an actively forming wet flow on
the left side of the first pitch, and an "easy" WI 6- second pitch.

The approach to the climbs has good snow and ice, and the road has good snow
for skiing and frustrating snow for walking.

Cheers,
