Trip Report:

Yuko and I spent four days in the Bugaboos recently. It was our first time in the area (and Yuko's first snow & glacier travel). The rock quality is awesome, the weather was stable and the hut is pure luxury! We climbed McTech Arete, West Ridge of Pigeon Spire, NE Ridge of Bugaboo Spire, and the NW Face of Hounds Tooth. A longer trip report with photos is here.

We were up there at the same time as you guys. Best weather of the season I'm told by a rather reliable source. Way to get after it.

We were really surprised by the good weather, I thought the big afternoon thunderstorm on our first day would be repeated every day--but then I heard that this was the first daytime rain that had fallen in almost two weeks!

Ah yes, the tuesday afternoon thunderstorm. I felt really bad for the family that parked their tent in the dirt. They didn't expect to be sleeping in a water bed.

When I was there we humped our loads up to the hut on 7/30 in a snowstorm in which some poor souls' tent was blown off Applebea Dome, and lost. They posted a note later asking if anyone had seen their tent...
