Almost at the top of the route, Nelson is about to follow up the traverse to the summit. Your tent is down by the lake @ applebee camp.

This is Tradclimbinfool starting pitch 3 of the NE Ridge of Bugaboo Spire. . . I don't know how many times I have heard since this photo was taken "that was the best pitch I have ever climbed!"

This is a photo I took of Tradclimbinfool on our way back from Pigeon Spire - What an amazing view !

ANOTHER great view of the Masters of the Bugs from Eastpost spire Snowpatch and Bugaboo! Views like this make the hike up to the summit of Eastpost a must on any rest day!!!

Tradclimbinfool on the summit ridge - What a beautiful day to summit !

a tiny little Tradclimbinfool on the summit ridge - What an awesome ridge - the exposure was monumental!

This is the view you get from the inside of the Applebee dome Loo - how Awesome . .lf it weren't for the smell I could sit in there all day!

The alpine lake below Bugaboo Spire! We so wanted a chance to swim in this beautiful lake, but a long lasting wet winter meant that the ice was still around when we showed up in July !

Tradclimbinfool starting Pitch 4-5! Again GREAT pitch - with GREAT exposure!

This is a photo of me finishing up the 5th pitch on the NE ridge. I had a hard time 'keeping climbing' I just wanted to take in the views, but I knew there wasn't enough time in the day to take it ALL in !

Here I am on the summit Ridge of Bugaboo Spire cleaning a piece as Tradclimbinfool and I did most of it simul-climbing

Starting up the NE Ridge of Bugaboo Spire. The climbers on the snow give it a sense of scale. As good as it looks.

In our 1984 trip we hit the "classics", this picture captured the perfect weather, mountains as far as you could see. The Gendarme is amazing and the thought of doing this in 1916 is mind-boggling. The Kain Route is thoroughly enjoying even at 5.6, and something good to do before you descend it from the summit.

A fun and interesting climb up the N.E. Ridge of Bugaboo Spire must be completed by 2:00pm - or the rains will come and wash you away like they did to us - downclimbing the Kain route when wet is no fun!

Unknown climber dude on the crux of the Kain/ South Ridge Route of Bugaboo Spire in Bugaboo Glacier Park (British Columbia, Canada).

The Kain Route serves as the descent for the Northeast Ridge of the Bugaboo Spire. We scouted the route out two days beforehand. Original photo is 4782x1391 pixels.

Lisa approaching Bug Spire early in the morning. You can see all the belay ledges plain as day on the ridge.

This is the gendarme on the Kain Route on Bugaboo Spire. There's a bolted station that you rappel from that takes you behind the gendarme. Do not attempt to rap down the west side of the gendarme

Looking up pitch 3 on Bug Spire North East ridge. A 5.6 lay back crack, with great gear

Descending the Kain route after having climbed the North East Ridge (Bugaboo Spire). The funnest traverse I've ever done!
