To head south you need to start in the north, right? On the 4th of July we crossed the Canadian border to drive toward Bugaboo Provincial Park in SE British Columbia to meet up with Kyle, Laura, Micah and Phil. After the steep hike in with a week's worth of food, we found ourselves settling in at the Conrad Kain Hut. The hut is located above 7,000' in the basin below Snowpatch, Bugaboo, Crescent and Eastpost Spires which all tower a few thousand feet above.

Over the next five days we climbed, scrambled, hiked, traversed, rappelled, photographed and explored the impressive granite peaks and immense glaciers in this alpine wonderland. Already dreaming of the return trip someday.

Here is a sneak peak of some GoPro footage. It starts with a sunrise timelapse taken on our last morning before hiking out, then goes back to the group climbing the West Ridge of Pigeon Spire and about half of Rosie and my traverse of Eastpost Spire. No promises if or when a more polished and complete version will be done.
