[MCR] ESE Ridge Mt Lady MacDonald

Eric Dumerac and I scrambled the the ESE Ridge of Mt Lady MacDonald today. Snow from the valley floor to the top, lots of damp rock and bare hands pressed into damp snow. Dry snow on the high eastern aspects, never deeper than 15 cms. Difficult conditions for this route, I'd call it more of a solo than a scramble right now. Good info on getting to the start of the route here at Everett Fee's webpage:

I would change this sentence in the above description to:

"When you come to these rock steps go left and down ~100 m to find obvious weaknesses"

to read 30 m
