Bow - Yoho Traverse Wapta Icefields

We talked about doing this trip for years. The completion of the Richard and Louise Guy Hut finally made us book it and go.

An amazing trip. This blog post, made months afterwards, doesn't do it justice. Poor visibility would have made this trip extremely challenging. In particular through the Collie Icefall and along the ridge leading to the Guy Hut. But we got lucky with the weather and everything went perfectly.
