mattp Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 If you are pondering a trip to the Bugaboos, I'd say go for it! There are incredible alpine rock climbs there -- at pretty much all grades (I'm not sure there are any 5.13's). From the "walk-up" 5.4 West Ridge of Pidgeon to the "hard man" 30-pitch mixed routes on Howser, it's all there -- and its all good. Did the photo contest pique your interest?

snoboy Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 I think there might even be a 5.13, or at least 12+ now. "The Power of Lard," on the E face of Snowpatch if I am not mistaken. BTW, there was a new edition on the Randall/Bensen (I think, puplished by the Mountaineers anyway) guide out last summer too, but it's no great improvemenrt on the old one. Mostly the same-same, but with a couple of new routes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronB Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 I've had the worst weather in Sept. I'd play it safe for july-aug ..more peeps, but better chance on dry rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Right on, Snoboy, but most of us just want to go climb the classics that haven't changed in 20 years. Bugaboos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
