Bugaboos: brenta-northpost traverse?


wrench

Recommended Posts

Has anyone ever done this traverse up in the Bugs? I searched the archives for the past 3 years and came up with nothing except a post about piton hammers. Just curious what you thought of it -- how long did it take, did you have a good time, anything strike you as noteworthy, etc. Thanks! (I'll report about it if we end up doing it)

I was also thinking of doing this traverse while in the Bugs this summer (we're hiking in on the 31st). I've climbed Brenta from a camp below Northpost, near the toe of the Vowell glacier. Others in the group did the traverse, which was quite convenient from our camp, as opposed to coming from Applebee or the Kain Hut. Some details here.

I'm heading up there on Monday. We'll be there through the following Tuesday.

Most of what we're looking to do is W-SW aspects so hopefully conditions will be ok.

2nd hand info from the hut custodian is that conditions are ok-good and that pretty much everything is in "good" shape.
