Darren Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 Good to hear about the cash and road situations. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 I believe it is 5.7, but the standard route on Snowpatch is outstanding. The W. Ridge on Pidgeon is probably the best 5.4 (or whatever) on the planet. The N. Ridge of N. Howser is a good moderate alpine climb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted July 25, 2001 Author Share Posted July 25, 2001 How is the dirt road going into the Bugaboos? Will my low clearance vehicle make it? I've heard about the chewing of the hoses that takes place there. Should I bring my own chicken wire or will there be enough in the parking lot? Save for the NE Ridge of Bugaboo, what are the choice routes in the 5.6 range to do while there? Any other suggestions to a first time visitor would be greatly appreciated.

Dru Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 low clearance OK should be enough wire there NE ridge Bugaboo is 5.7, not 5.6 - good 5.6 and easier stuff on the peaks near crescent lake and brenta spire, west ridge of Pigeon, Kain Route on Bugaboo, etc. but W ridge pigeon excepted, as the grade gets easier expect more mountaineering and lots less climbing. Buy the guidebook!!! Go by Nelson on your way for herb supply and also to climb in the Valhallas! Bugaboos minus glaciers and crowds. Dont forget to take $$$ it is about $10 a night to tent and $15 for the hut, they DONT TAKE CHEQUES (except from Fred Beckey) OR DEBIT CARDS!!!!
