Trip: The Bugaboos in few words, many photos - Snowpatch, WR of Pigeon, B-C, Ears Between

 

Date: 7/29/2015

 

Trip Report:

You already have all the beta you need for the Bugs, even if you've never been there. So I won't bore you with the details of the trip Cfire, Trent, Curtveld, Andy, and I took at the end of July. Suffice it to say that the crowds are there for a reason- even if you'll probably hunt for a parking place, fight for a campsite, be rained on, wait in line, and maybe even get struck by lightning. Thankfully, we only checked a few of those boxes.

 

But the Bugaboos are a beautiful range, even more so than I remembered.

Gear Notes:

The whole kit, and then some. Don't forget the Whiskey.

 

Approach Notes:

If you want a great place to camp the night before you hike in, I'd recommend Nature's Paradise in Brisco

For the major peaks/areas (Bugaboo, Snowpatch, Pigeon, South Howser, Crescent Spires) there are bolted, well-placed stations set up for 60m ropes. That wasn't the case 10 years ago, but the Bugs are now firmly on the international guiding circuit and the anchors reflect it. Bomber!

The man knows how to use his camera. Takes the pressure off me to get the shots :) Great trip with great dudes!

 

Bob is right, the guides have set up a lot of the rap routes with a 70m rope in mind. We made it work with 60's, but definitely made some stressful rope stretchers. The exception is the Bugaboo glacier raps, which are easily done with a 60. You just have to watch out for knuckleheads above.
