| After my conference Amy and I headed to Bugaboo Provincial
Park, an area famous for giant glaciers, shear granite spires, and
terrible weather. We hiked into the Kain Hut, and early (though not
early enough) the next morning set off to attempt the Kain Route
(South ridge) of Bugaboo Spire. The weather was decent by Bugaboo
standards, it only snowed on us for a little while and the clouds only
occasionally engulfed us. Unfortunately, we moved too slowly for the
lengthy climb and turned back just short of the crux Gendarme pitch.
The next morning greeted us with a steady, unchanging rain. We
retreated, but are determined to return. |
