  • Possibly the most iconic multi-day traverse in North America, the Bugs to Rogers Traverse spans three mountain ranges, 80+ miles of distance and over 30k vertical feet of elevation gain. Though the challenges don’t come in the numbers alone, the route is littered with complex navigational challenges, sudden and savage storms, crucial and consequential decision making and surviving in the wild with nothing but your wits and what’s in your pack. It’s no meadow skipping glacier cruise, the Bugs to Rogers Traverse a full on test of mountain skills and mental grit.
    This is Part 1 in a 3-part episodic series of The FIFTY documenting the classic line, the Bugs to Rogers Traverse. Part 2 will be released on December 14th, 2022 and Part 3 will be released on December 28th, 2022.

    Cinematography by: Bjarne Salen

    Superb. I've been waiting for this one. I did this in April 1990 with Chic Scott (guide). We also headed to the Beaver River a tad early, ie, via the Grand Glacier, skipping Sugarloaf. History: My sister's father-in-law was David Hope-Simpson, after whom Mt David is named, as he climbed it when working as a mining engineer there in 1949-1953. Oh: And we went N to S also. The trip took us 14 days and we had one rather large avalanche that carried us down 300 feet or so (no injuries; this was climbing to Climax Col). What a thrill it was to reach Bugaboo Lodge those 32 years ago. That was my first ski traverse, but since then I have done about 10 (MUCH shorter ones) in the Selkirks, Purcells, and western side of the Rockies. Another bit of history: Roberts (Bob) French was in my running club in western Mass. I did not know that he was first on this route until a day before we started.
