Access Issue: SNOWPATCH SPIRE ROCKFALL
Details
BC Parks is aware of a rockfall incident that occurred on December 23, 2022 on the north end of Snowpatch Spire in Bugaboo Park. The natural occurring event triggered a significant deposit of rock into the glacial basin below, however no park facilities were impacted by the debris. The area involved is a popular recreation area during the operational season (July to September). With this in mind BC Parks has implemented a Closure Area (Travel Not Permitted – Section 17 (Park Act)) and a Rockfall Hazard Zone (Travel Not Recommended) in the localized incident area (February 1 – July 15, 2023) until more information becomes available.
Description
In an area known for long alpine routes here is an historic boulder with a 30 second approach (from the Kain hut) This boulder has been used for a very long time by climbers visiting the area. Ancient pitons and bolts indicate its past use as an aid training ground. It now has at least two high quality topropes or highball boulder problems. There is a fixed rope ladder on the far climbers right side of the boulder to access bolted anchors on top.
