[MCR] bow peyto and out

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Just a few notes to add to Nick's Wapta notes. A group of us spent 
July 1-4 going from Bow to Peyto and out. Climbed Olive on July 2. 
Good coverage and travel with more snow than usual. Good travel from 
Bow to Peyto on the 3rd, climbed Mt Thompson en route. Still a lot of 
snow on Thompson,  I have climbed Mt Thompson on the same day for 
about 10 years with this year being the most coverage. Still big 
cornices on summit ridge!!
The lower Peyto glacier seemed about normal.
 From the hut we used access by the glacier hole access south of 
hut,  traversing high to the rock piles under Habel peak,and Weather 
station to get to the ramp on the Peyto tongue. Good travel....ice 
started where it flattens out.
No freeze on the 4th with rain over night and most of the way out. No 
signs of any new activity but some sluffing on steep aspects. Weather 
over the 4 days was unsettled, Coldest day  was the 3rd.
