Bugaboo Spire [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Bugaboo Spire
This photo will be published in a new book to be released next year regarding classic climbs. I have added quite a few Pigeon and Snowpatch Spire photos along with a page for Pigeon, but this is a rappel we were doing on descent of the NE Ridge of Bugaboo Spire, IV, 5.8. A photo was requested of the climb and I had tons of ascent pics en route and one of my partners on the climb told me he thought this was the best pic of the bunch even though I had already cataloged it and thus it was not in consideration. The more you study it, the more it grows on you. I am usually not that fond of rappel photos. Just one of many raps down the Kain route which you use as your descent from the NE Ridge route which is one of the 50 North American Classics. This has become such a popular route, by Canadian standards, I could have sold coffee and donuts at the start of the climb and made a small fortune this day. Bugaboo Provincial Park, August 25, 2006.

""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
