[MCR] Neil Colgan area and Ohara

Just got back from 3 days at Neil Colgan and one day at Ohara. Steep ice
faces such as Fay north face, Quadra north face are in poor condition and
full of black steaks. West ridge of Fay is good with easy shrund crossing
and icy conditions to ridge. Hungabee is almost dry with snowpatch
disappearing fast and traverse into the coal bands drying fast. Lefroy is
vertical gravel mixed with ice and some snow-poor condition. Victoria south
ridge in good condition. Temperatures at 4:00 am at 9000 ' around +10
