[MCR] Bugaboos July 12th,13th 2009.

Walked into the Bugs on a warm july 12th evening-conditions looked great for almost all the rock routes. Rain starting around 8am on the 13th(monday) and it rained most of the day and looked like more to come. No snowfall to the top of Pigeon at 2pm. Nil avalanche activity observed.

 

Good travel still on the glaciers and to the Bugaboo-Snowpatch col when things are cool. Some ice starting to show in places and at low elevations. Howser east face schrunds still looked manageable but sporty for ascending.

 

Road in fair shape. Survivable in a city-slicker Subaru with 5 people and gear.
