[MCR] Morro peak Guides route

Up the Guides route on Morro peaks SW face yesterday. the second
pitch is the crux (5.7) and has a few new pins on it. Checked all the
pins and re- hammered a few. 2-3 screamers are useful along the route
for some of the old pins. (Especially for the "swing set bolt" on pitch 2.)

At Hidden Valley on the 21st my gang forgot 3-4 runners on Bullet
head buttress. Maybe the nice couple we met there grabbed them while
on that route right after us? Would be nice to get them back. Hope to
get some aerial shots of Cavell's east and west ridges, from a friend
with a plane and will post them when I do.
