One of the best trips I ever went on in all my years of climbing, 25 years ago 4 of us from Austin Texas went adventuring to the Bugaboos in BC.

We had great weather over 2 weeks, except the last day... and climbed 4 summits. This is a vid of the first and easiest, West Ridge of Pigeon Spire, an 5.4 fun day in the sun.

This is a 4 part series called the 1990 Lone Star Bugaboo Expedition. The Becky Chouinard on the South Howser Tower is already up on my Vimeo site, and shortly the NE Ridge of Bugaboo Spire and West Face of Snow Patch are in the works.

We had big FUN! Cheers.

That was fun to watch. Thanks. I hope to never carry a 120 pound pack. And so far, so good!

that is absolutely awesome! Brought back great memories of my climbing Pigeon (although with less neon clothing!) five years ago. Great to see such classic footage!

Thanks for sharing!
