The Bugaboos The Climbers Guide
The Bugaboos, The Climbers Guide by Chris Atkinson and Marc Piché is the definitive guide to climbing the towering alpine granite walls and towers of the world-famous Bugaboo Spires. The book is full of enough beta to last a lifetime of Bugaboo trips. Atkinson and Piche authored the previous award-winning Bugaboo guide, ‘The Bugaboos, One of the World’s Great Alpine Rockclimbing Centres’. Both are professional, internationally certified mountain guides and have collectively spend thousands of days spanning more than four decades working, playing, climbing and documenting this breath-taking area. This guide has all the information you’ll need to get you from the highways to the access road, trailhead and up to the hut and camping areas in the heart of the climbing. There you’ll find more than 300 routes with something special for every climber, ranging from easy classics to long, hard 5.14 routes, and everything in between. Whether it be the ultra-classic, West Ridge of Pigeon Spire, Northeast Ridge of Bugaboo Spire, the Beckey-Chouinard on South Howser Tower or dozens and dozens of other sought-after classics, there is something in this guidebook for every climber. Adorned with detailed colour images of the entire area and of all the granite faces, including topo overlays and pitch by pitch technical descriptions of the climbs, this guide has all the information you’ll ever need. Approaches and descents are well covered with options for late season conditions as well as suggestions, strategies and advice to plan all your successful Bugaboo trips. So, grab this excellent guidebook and start planning your next Bugaboo Climbing Adventure.
