Pigeon Spire [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Pigeon Spire
Looking back at the descent from the first summit from the start of the ascent to the 2nd summit. Interesting ground, not as difficult as it appears. West Ridge, Alpine II, 5.4. August 26, 2006. Bugaboo Provincial Park, BC, Canada

Surprising that the original summit fell off.

I concur Mark, that is why it is such a recommended route by climbers at all levels, the superior rock. That south face is sheer verticle in places and the summit leans in that direction thus gravity won out I guess. Cheers.

For me, the clear lines in the smooth surrounds would give great pleasure. Never climbed such rock.

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
