[MCR] Bugaboo Spire

Up the NE Ridge on Saturday, September 5th.  Quite a bit of ice/snow in the cracks, starting after the third pitch (where you go to the North side of ridge) and continuing past the chimneys.  Summit traverse and Kain route were dry.  We descended the Snowpatch-Pigeon raps as the Bugaboo-Snowpatch col was not suitable for travel due to rockfall hazard.

 

We left Sunday morning under threatening skies and fresh snow on Snowpatch Spire.....not sure what the Park looks like now but it felt like winter was coming...!!

 

Have fun!
