Just back from the Bugaboos climbing with some students from Invermere and Kimberley in celebration of BC Park’s 100th year anniversary.

In addition to Steve Blagbrough’s posting from 2 days ago...

  • with Wednesday night’s heavy rain several television sized rocks fell on the B/S col
  • there is now electricity at the hut
  • caution for icefall when descending onto the Bugaboo Glacier from the Pigeon/ Snowpatch rappels.  The icefall seems to be more active this year and can effect the slope at the bottom of the rappels but this can be avoided by staying left against the rock
  • up to 10cm of snow fell between Thursday afternoon and Friday morning down to 2300m, still snowing up high as of this morning
