Early morning start! Got up at 3:30 AM to help Matt prepare the breakfast for 4 AM. We were on our way in the dark by headlamps |
|
Working our way up towards Bugaboo-Snowpatch col. Snow cover was great, there was not too much concern about rock fall but we still decided to come back via the other side of Pigeon (in effect we circumnavigated Pigeon and Snowpatch spires). |

Rope Teamin' with Mark Z. Couldn't have asked for a better partner.

We had some adverse weather blow in out of no where and things looked quite grim for awhile but luckily things cleared up and we did not get caught out in a thunderstorm |
