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
Another route on the West Face of Snowpatch Spire. This route is similar to others in that as you go up the rock cleans up. This route has some wide cracks to climb, as well as lots of moss to clean. I found this route to be very "alpine".
I am aware that this route description is lacking, so if you feel a need to post a better one, contact the admins and have them reassign this to you.
I posted this well after being at the Bugaboos, so my memory of specific pitches is minimal. In addition, I did not want to plagiarize the guidebook I left it vague.
