Bugaboos Details
SEASON
June to September but July and August have the best weather. Always be prepared for any kind of weather. Week-long rain storms are common and it snows every month of the year. Temps can vary depending on what aspect of a spire you’re climbing on.
Plan accordingly for sunny day, cloudy and always be watching for storm clouds.
GETTING THERE
There are several options for staying in the park. The most comfortable but also the most expensive is the Conrad Kain Hut which is managed by the Alpine Club of Canada. It provides you with a warm dry place, a kitchen with running water and lights for late night reading. The Applebee campground is the most popular for camping, but some make their way to East Creek Basin.
GEAR
You’ll need a double rack of trad gear, two 60-metre ropes, alpine travel and climbing clothes, shells, down jackets and a sleeping bag. If you’re camping then you’ll need a tent and cooking gear.
