Hasn't voted | Thanks. I put that info in the caption for this photo but you're right, it belongs in the main description. | |

Hasn't voted | The second rappel is down the east (back) side of the gendarme and not the west side, even though this looks like the logical line of descent. Failing to do so will force you to pedulum back to the ridge or even worse, rappel down the entire west face. | |

Hasn't voted | Massive rockfall in July or August of 2009 made descent from the Bugaboo-Snowpatch col more sketchy than usual. Some folks still descended that way, but we chose to go around the backside of Snowpatch using the "Snowpatch rappels" from the col. This took somewhat longer, but was a lot safer and may end up becoming the standard descent eventually. | |

Hasn't voted | Damn. Thanks for the update; I'll add it to the body of the page. Your user page says you were busy last year, knocking off what for me were several highlights of 20+ years of climbing. I'm jealous, but in a good way. | |

Hasn't voted | Ha, thanks! Yeah, I guess I was pretty lucky last year. Lots of good weather when we needed it. But I also had the good fortune of being a "student" last year and had the summer off, a girlfriend who was fairly understanding, and an experienced partner who is patient with me. So....I really can't take any credit for any of it. These pages are phenomenal, by the way. They were my original motivation for going to the Bugaboos when I saw them ~3 years ago. So thanks for that! | |
