    1:42 - Yehp, that's an exciting view. Know it well. Makes me nostalgic.

    You had great weather and no crowds? That is the opposite of what most people find in the Bugs. You lucked out HUGE!

    Thanks for taking a camera up there. I always wanted to go to the bugs but it was too far away. Nice to see what it looks like up close.

    Like the camera shot out of the "famous window". One of the best views while "sitting" ;-). Good Job those are some long routes up there.

    Well done to smash so many routes in one trip! Planning my next objective and it looks like there's tons of great options in the Bugs.

      @@kristenbowling2147 Every day seemed so surreal. It was amazing. I did quite a few years at Kokanee Glacier also, but it wasn't quite the same magical feel. But still pretty great : )

    "The Bugaboos An Alpine History" by J.F Gardens has been one of my favorite books (published in 1987). It captured my imagination just as your video did. I never did go on that trip planned in 96' and often wondered what it looked like for my friend who took my place. Thanks for being my eyes for my first trip to the Bugs; I'm sure it won't be my last. cheers

    Randomly came across your video. So beautiful. I know I'll be back out soon. And the 2 of you remind me of myself and the girl I should have married long ago. Really sweet. All of it.

    Brought back great memories of my trip there.. nice video! I also was cought off guard by how long it would take to get off of bugaboo spire! climbing down the col in the dark is scary!

    • @kristenbowling2147
      @kristenbowling2147  Рік тому

      Thank you! We felt better when other parties that said it took them equally as long lol. That col in the dark is definitely a bit more intimidating...

    Hi! My friend and I booked a trip there in March to climb Bugaboo Spire however I have done research and found nothing on any winter ascents of it. Do you know if it is even possible to access in that time of year? Please let me know if you have any other helpful information! Thank you and great video!

    Loved this! I hike every once in a while, just out in Death Valley the other day. But what you all are doing here is intense...I'd be scared to death. Looked like fun, though!

    • @kristenbowling2147
      @kristenbowling2147  Рік тому +1

      I love Death Valley! Any day getting out - whether it's hiking or climbing is a great one in my book.

    Great video of the Bug's, It was on my list to climb when I lived in Wa. I'm old now and never made the trip. I was always concerned about my car surviving the porcupines LOL. Great job!!!

    • @kristenbowling2147
      @kristenbowling2147  Рік тому

    Looks amazing! A few questions: what resources did you look at while planning this? And also are there rappel rings at the top of the pitches there?

    • @kristenbowling2147
      @kristenbowling2147  10 місяців тому +1

      We used Mountain Project and referenced Steph Abegg’s blog posts. Only rappel rings starting at the South summit if I remember right.

    Did you guys have to rope up for eastpost spire?

    • @kristenbowling2147
      @kristenbowling2147  Рік тому

      We didn’t! It was a quick 4th class scramble and mayyyybe one low fifth class move at the top.

    • @kristenbowling2147
      @kristenbowling2147  7 місяців тому

      We went the last week of July! We called some local mountain guiding companies to see what the condition of the col was like, to make sure it wasn’t too melted out!

  • @NomadNothofagus
