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
Sustained throughout. Access via shooting gallery 5.11a or 7th rifle 5.10.a (dry later in season than shooting). Upper headwall splitter is money. Flake pitches mid prow are mental crux. If bailing hike downhill and take first feasible line skiers left back to east creek bivy (2 hours 4th class) tricky when wet.
