Access Issue: SNOWPATCH SPIRE ROCKFALL
Details
BC Parks is aware of a rockfall incident that occurred on December 23, 2022 on the north end of Snowpatch Spire in Bugaboo Park. The natural occurring event triggered a significant deposit of rock into the glacial basin below, however no park facilities were impacted by the debris. The area involved is a popular recreation area during the operational season (July to September). With this in mind BC Parks has implemented a Closure Area (Travel Not Permitted – Section 17 (Park Act)) and a Rockfall Hazard Zone (Travel Not Recommended) in the localized incident area (February 1 – July 15, 2023) until more information becomes available.
Description
Alpine granite of high quality is reported now and then for these peaks. In 1972, Putnam wrote: "Around Mount Sally Serena rise a number of granitic spires, resembling the Bugaboos but lower, and mostly still unclimbed." Putnam included the 1970 ascent of Banshee Tower by the Magnuson-Wagner team on the Sally Serena massif in the AAC Interior guide.
Putnam reported Banshee to be 3/4 of a mile east of Sally Serena. contour interval 20 meters
