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

This is quite possibly the best toilet view in the world, to match the best 5.4 in the world right next door. This pushes the definition of a climbing route, but merits inclusion because of its sheer quality - this toilet is not to be missed if you're in the area climbing the West Ridge and the weather is good.

Location

Access as for West Ridge, but instead of ascending the ridge, follow the sign for the toilet. A few meters after the sign, stay low and to the left to avoid accidentally approaching from above.

Protection

The route is rated A0 because you use fixed gear (a wooden platform) to access the summit. The alternative, an unprotected dyno to the seat, is not recommended.
