Bugaboo's Late June/Early July

[Phil Persson]

Hi all,

Looking for partner(s) to do some mountaineering in the Bugaboo Range in Southeastern B.C Canada this summer, hopefully climb Snowpatch and Bugaboo Spires. I am a 21 year old student living in Metaline Falls, Washington this summer for an internship, and will be here through the first week in August, I am pretty flexible on time for such a trip. It would probably be easiest to meet up in Nelson, B.C [only an hour from where I am in Washington], or down here perhaps in Spokane or somewhere. Could also meet up here in Metaline Falls as it's 'on the way' and I have a spare bedroom at my place, so we could spend a day/afternoon packing and organizing. I have my 4x4 truck with me, plus all my alpine gear, large rack, snow/ice stuff, ect.. I have an AT [Alpine Touring] setup on my ski's and was considering trying to do a ski approach to the spires from the Conrad Kain hut if this is a possibility. I haven't done anything this big yet but do have a good deal of alpine multipitch trad experience/general mountaineering experience. I am thinking sometime in late June or July would work best for me; I would probably do a 5 or 6-day trip; it's 4 hours to the Bug's from where I am here in WA. 2 or 3 days of climbing and maybe 2 nights in the Conrad Kain hut would be ideal, maybe try and summit Snowpatch, Bugaboo, and Pidgeon Spires. What do you guys think? Would like to maybe spend a weekend climbing in the North Cascades/NE Washington and see how we climb together first. Really want to make this happen, shoot me a message!

Best Regards,

Phil Persson.
