[MCR] Murchison Falls
Got scooped on Polar Circus today, Feb 13, so we backtracked to Murchison Falls. A big ol' track leading to big ol' blue waterfall. Overall seemed a little harder than when I was there last month (Jan 18). Lots of ice growing, we had fresh tracks on the first 3 pitches on reformed ice surfaces. We climbed the prominent groove/chimney for the final 30 meters of the route (just climber's left of centre) and can recommend it. Good steep climbing with stemming and good gear.
