Re: BugaboosYes Anita, Pigeon Spire to be sure. Have insight to a much better approach that Peter and I used. Grant Meekins (a local guide) gave it up to us and it is much nicer than the normal approach. I will put up the beta the next chance I get. Thanks.

Excellent pageExcellent, as usual, Dow. Do you know the Bugs well enough to do a page for the group? I've done Bugaboo, Snowpatch, Crescent, and Pigeon, but my information (and memory) are stale. There were no pages for ranges and groups when I did the first two peaks; now that SP has that category, it cries out for a Bugaboos Page to avoid some of this duplication of info. You have the climbing, writing, and photo talent to do it right, and you've obviously researched some background.

Re: Excellent pageThank you Eric...but I am too busy climbing to do anything but add route beta to SP...would love to see you put up a group page, great area to be sure. I will add Pigeon next chance I get, Pvalchev and I had a super blue bird day and great photos, not to mention a fantastic alternative route through the Pigeon Fork-Bugaboo Glacier (much better than the col). Cheers.
