Conditions report
- Location
- Bugaboo Provincial Park
Hiked out on Saturday 7/28 after 5 days climbing. Found great travel conditions overall and the weather was quite warm and dry all week.
- Bugaboo glacier from Pigeon to hut is easy and straight forward travel.
- B-S col is still in good condition with plenty of snow and little evidence of much recent rock fall
- Crescent glacier moat gaining rock on the crescent-bugaboo col is easily navigable but the snow is quite steep near the top making crampons very helpful
- a fair amount of steep snow remaining on the north side of crescent tower descent (descending from ears between to the east post col).
