A few photos of the glaciers and approaches in the Bugaboos are attached.  As of yesterday travel up and down the Bugaboo-Snowpatch Col was still straightforward with only a couple steps on ice near the bergschrund crossing on climbers right. There is however lots of potential for rockfall with the warm temperatures and a few close calls were reported. Travel up and down the Bugaboo Glacier to the Pigeon-Howser Col is straightforward at this time with the normal crevasse precautions needed.
