Just spent the past week at the Bow Hut for a
Yamnuska "Intro to Mountaineering". Despite hot valley temperatures, it did
not get too warm up on the glaciers with good supportive snow all day; even into
the afternoon. On the other hand, the massive sun-cups made for an awkward
stumble-fest. Over all, more-than-normal snow coverage on the glaciers for this
time of year but where bare ice exists, the snow bridges / snow plugs are
junk (ie - not supportive). We climbed Rhonda
South (July 29) and Mt Olive (July 31), both offering straight forward
ascents via their normal ridge routes.
