Im heading to the Bugaboos this summer and im wondering if its a good idea to carry some pitons. some of the routes' descents are not down the route so i was thinking they may become necessary if the weather goes bad and a bail is necessary mid climb.

We are hoping to get in some combination of the following routes: west ridge of pigeon, kain route, mc tech arete, beckey-chouinard and the north east ridge of bugaboo spire.

I will carry my bd venom on a route if you guys recommend pitons.

any size recommendations would be appreciated.

thanks in advance

No iron needed for those routes
