The way to get there was not that easy. 50 km of bumpy logging road with obstacles.





And then you have to protect your car with the fence. Otherwise the porcupines will show up and they would go for your rubber.





The first breathtaking view to the bugaboo glacier.





The weather can change very quickly up there.





Postcard views from the Kain Hut. Sadly no double rainbow.





Snowpatch Spire





Camping at the Applebee Campground at 2400 meters above sea level.





Small elias in front of the Bugaboo Spire. And Snowpatch Spire again.





Me leading a quality 5.9 on the Mc Tech Arete. Posing with Harry on the top of Crescent Spire in front of the Bugaboo Spire. The next day we planned to climb the NE-Ridge of the Bugaboo Spire. Unfortunately Harry pulled a fridge-sized block which was loose. The block rolled over his foot and we had to rappel in alpine chossy terrain. It was a long walk down for him with his swollen blue foot. Luckily the x-ray at the hospital couldn't find any broken bones.

Summarized: Harrys rigth foot vs. huge rock = 1:0
