| Hi all, Looking for partner(s) to do some mountaineering in the Bugaboo Range in Southeastern B.C Canada this summer, hopefully climb Snowpatch and Bugaboo Spires. I am a 21 year old student living in Metaline Falls, Washington this summer for an internship, and will be here through the first week in August, I am pretty flexible on time for such a trip. It would probably be easiest to meet up in Nelson, B.C [only an hour from where I am in Washington], or down here perhaps in Spokane or somewhere. I have my 4x4 truck with me, plus all my alpine gear, rack, snow stuff, ect.. I have an AT [Alpine Touring] setup on my ski's and was considering trying to do a ski approach to the spires from the Conrad Kain hut if this is a possibility. I haven't done anything this big yet but do have some alpine multipitch trad experience/general mountaineering experience. I am thinking sometime in late June or July would work best for me; I would probably do a 5 or 6-day trip; it's 4 hours to the Bug's from where I am here in WA. 2 or 3 days of climbing and maybe 2 nights in the hut. What do you guys think? Really want to make this happen, shoot me a message! Best Regards, Phil Persson. 410 Park St., Metaline Falls, WA, 99153. (Email me becuase I don't even get cell reception up here haha.... :) |  |
