SUMMARY:Bugaboo Alpine Rock
DESCRIPTION:The Bugaboos are a magical alpine playground of inspiring glaciers, pristine wilderness and towering granite spires…\nThe Bugaboos of Western Canada are one of the world’s greatest alpine rock climbing centers. Located in the Purcell mountains of South-Eastern British Columbia they are cluster of high and shear granite spires situated inside the pristine Bugaboo Provincial Park. Join our 3 to 5 day guided program and discover some of the best traditional alpine rock climbing in Canada.\nThe Bugaboos offer a challenge for climbers of all ability on sound granite. The various summits of the Bugaboos including; the Crescent Spires, Bugaboo Spire, Snowpatch Spire, the Howsers, Pigeon Spire and the Pigeon Feathers, boast fine moderate mountaineering objectives, superb scrambles and fantastic alpine rock climbs.\nSome of the popular peaks and classic routes we recommend in the Bugaboos include:\n\nThe Northeast ridge of Bugaboo Spire (D-, 5.8, 12p)\nKain Route on Bugaboo Spire (AD, 5.8, 450m)\nWest ridge of Pigeon Spire (PD, 5.4, 500m)\nEast Ridge of Marmolata (AD-, 5.6, 280m)\nSurf’s Up on Snowpatch Spire (D, 5.9, 9p)\nSnowpatch Route on Snowpatch Spire (D-, 5.8, 19p)\nBuckingham Route via “The Enjoyable Way” on Snowpatch Spire (AD+, 5.8, 8p)\nLion’s Way on Crescent Tower (PD+, 5.6, 6p)\nEars Between on Crescent Tower (AD, 5.9, 6p)\nMcTech Arête on Crescent Spire (D-, 5.10-, 6p)\nThe Beckey-Chouinard on the South Howser Tower (TD+, 5.10, 22p)\n\nDue to route length and arduous approaches, most peak ascents in the Bugaboos require a minimum of 2 days. That being said, it is often possible to ascend 2 routes or peaks over a 3 day period from the Kain hut.\nIn general, the guests to guide ratio is route specific. A 1 to 1 ratio is the norm on longer or more technical routes like; the Northeast Ridge of Bugaboo Spire or the Beckey-Chouinard on South Howser Spire. Previous experience climbing with our guides may affect this slightly. Depending on conditions, many of the less difficult or engaging routes can be done with a 1 to 2 ratio. A 1 to 3 ratio will limit us to very basic non-technical mountaineering ascents.\nFor a complete route list along with difficulty information, route description and trip length, click on Location below.
