The view from the West Ridge of Pigeon Spire... beautiful day!

Snapped this photo from near the base of Pigeon Spire, looking back towards Bugaboo Spire.

This picture was taken on the South Summit of the Bugaboo Spire after climing the northeast ridge. The Howser Towers and Pigeon are seen in the background

Chris just hangin out at Applebee Dome in front of Cresent Spire and Donkey Ears...I so miss the Bugs!

This guy and his partner made quick work of Energy Crisis while my buddies and I were doing McTech. I would've gotten his name for the credit but they were up and gone! If you know this person I'll gladly give him credit.

traversing from the North summit to the South summit on the descent

This is a pic of us decending the Kain Route that a guy from Montana took, who roped up with us from the Gendarme to the summit. I'm sitting 'just' to the left of the guy standing and Chris is the next to the left. Kind of reminds you why we get out there.

Pigeon Spire was one of our objectives on a 36-hour jaunt into the Bugs. Perfect weather... beautiful view from the west ridge!

A cool picture of Snowpatch Spire taken last year by Chris Sampson. Helped my descision to go again this year (not like you need to twist my arm or anything).

Chris and Gary up on the stellar second pitch of McTech Arete in the Bugaboos.

Tent-city at Applebee Dome made things kinda sad :( ...but it was still better than being at work.

Picture of my buddies (and shadows) hiking the glacier up to the Pigeon-Howser col mid august to take a look at the Becky-Chouinard which was hammered with snow and rain the whole week.

Unknown climbers working through the crux of the Gendarme on the Kain route, Bugaboo Spire.

The Bugs...... via the "Alder-nate" approach from the west. That's Little Snowpatch in the foreground.

What a day!!!

What a day!!!

Climbing Mt Swansea a MTN out in Invermere, BC 3 hours west of Calgary.

this part of the route follows an old rappel route for old schoolers looking to reach little snowpatch.

Sam scoping out the 4th or 5th pitch of the route on this amazingly warm August day.

A shot of myself solo'in up the West Ridge. If it wert for sams finger, this would be beauty! Anyone with the mad Photoshop skills wanna try to get that out? I'd be grateful.
