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
A good route, but a little on the gritty side. The current guidebook does not accurately depict this route.
From Applebee, head up toward the Crescent/Eastpost saddle; then follow a slanting ramp that traverses across the sheer west face of Eastpost to its end. Route ascends the pillar shown on the photo, up cracks and over a small overhang (cux), reaching the Southwest Ridge in 3 pitches. Follow that route to the summit, and descend the Northwest Ridge.
