3-day Bugaboo alpine rock climbing, British Columbia

The Bugaboos are a group of peaks lying to the East of British Columbia. Their superb granite spires turn it into one of the top rock climbing destinations in Canada. Ready to enjoy some first-class climbs? 

This group of peaks belong to the Purchell Mountains and lie inside Bugaboo Provincial Park, surrounded by pristine lakes and glaciers.

I propose to go there for a 3-day alpine rock climbing trip, exploring some of the classic climbs in the area. Routes are graded between II and V in the UIAA system. Therefore, easy, moderate and advanced options are available, and you’ll be able to pick the best route for you according to your level.

It’s important to consider that most routes have long and demanding approaches, so a minimum of two days is required for this trip. As this program involves spending three days on the mountains, we’ll probably be able to ascend two different peaks. Here are some of our options:

• Bugaboo Spire

• Pigeon Spire

• Crescent Tower

• Snowpatch Spire

• Howser Tower

For this trip you must have some previous rock climbing experience (trad climbing / crack climbing, with a guide or not), as well as being in excellent physical conditions.

The day before the trip we’ll have a pre-meeting to set the itinerary according to your personal goals and check out you gear. Then, we’ll enjoy 3 days of full climbing!

As for the weather, you should expect temperatures between 10C to 28C during summer, but that’s only during the day: by night, temperatures can drop below zero!
