Peyto Hut March 11-13. Observed remote triggers on approach as reported by prior party, we picked a line through a treed shoulder to the rocks to ascend Peyto moraine, but did not feel comfortable returning via this route so exited Bow. Day 1-2 was snowy and storming, wide-spread wind affect. Day 3 cleared and we observed a moderate natural cycle beginning with assumed propagation on the persistent layer in lee and cross-loaded areas.
