[MCR] Reality Check, Ski Smithers

The ice is thick, but brittle and the final pillar is very fat and
bulging. It is solid for the grade at the moment. Climbers might
consider moving the top rope anchor to a live tree some metres further
up. The access is in good shape. The road to the base of the chair is
ploughed and the gate is open.
