[MCR] Silk Tassel

Guided Silk Tassel today, Feb 17. The route is big and blue and user friendly with the exception of having to dry tool for a couple of moves to get to the tree anchor because there is no avalanche debris there raising floor. 

Bubble Wrap Blues has been getting climbed, but it is grey with some rock patches sticking through for the first 20 meters, looked like stubby and short screws would be your friend.

There was intermittent cloud cover there today with the sun hitting the route at about 11:00, when we were packing up to walk away. Could be a nervous place on a sunny day given that the sun hits the avalanche start zones at the top of Mt Field at least an hour earlier.

Happy trails,
