A very clear, but also very chilly, morning at Bow Lake.Looking back at Wietse on our crossing of Bow Lake, you can see morning clouds hanging over the lake.High winds whip snow off The Onion.View towards Bow Falls and Portal Peak on the upper right - one of the only scrambles on the Wapta Icefield.The canyon had slightly less snow than usual.Looking back as Wietse comes out of the approach canyon. Jimmy Simpson in the bg.Approaching the place where we'll turn left instead of the usual right hand turn towards the Bow Hut. Vulture on the left, St. Nicholas at upper right.Looking back at the Bow Hut with St. Nicholas on the left as we work our way up the canyon across from it.A bright ribbon guides us to a small height loss (PITA on return!) before the Crowfoot Moraines.Wietse comes up behind me.Following tracks makes our life easier.Looking ahead to the col. Crowfoot mountain on the left and Little Crowfoot on the right.Telephoto panorama of the But Hut with St. Nicholas on the left and The Onion on the right.Wietse comes up to the Crowfoot Glacier with Portal, Thompson and Jimmy Simpson (L to R) in the bg.Wietse looks small next to cliffs coming off Vulture Peak.There were some steep rolls in the terrain that would be an issue with high avalanche conditions.Final slopes to the summit at left.Views to the east off the summit with Crowfoot Mountain at far right.Summit views to the south with mighty Mount Balfour in the distance and Vulture on the right.
