[MCR] Purcells, Bugaboo Spire, Kain Route
Had an early winter day on the Kain Route of Bugaboo Spire with two guests on August 23rd. 1 cm of snow on all of the horizontal ledges right out of Bugaboo/Snowpatch Col. Cold westerly wind all day, mountain boots and gloves all the way to the top and down. Had all of my clothes on for most of the day. Yesterday dawned sunny, and given likewise today, I think that everything probably melted off and is good to go again. Beautiful to be in the Bugs when the sun is out.
