[MCR] Wapta
Spent Sept 9-13 in the Bow and Peyto hut areas. Felt like winter when we arrived and summer when we left. The recent snows are melting uphill and more ice is being exposed with each day of incredible weather. We stepped into numerous crevasses given the new thin snow covering, lots of probing. Ascents of the Onion Skin, Mt Thompson, Mt Rhondda, Mt Habel (often referred to as Rhondda North), Son of Trapper, and Trapper Peak southeast summit were made, all in great condition.
