Best of The Bugaboos

Located in the Purcell Mountains of British Columbia, the Bugaboos are a world-class alpine playground. The "Best of the Bugaboos" program offers an ideal introduction to the area or a way to further explore it. Participants will experience a mix of high alpine snow & ice climbs, moderate multi-pitch rock routes, and some of the world’s best long rock climbs, all under the guidance of ACMG-certified Alpine Air Adventure guides. Please email info@alpineairadventures.com to inquire about private dates.

The Course

The program begins with a scenic approach hike to the Conrad Kain Hut or Applebee Alpine Campsite, serving as a base for the following day’s climbing adventures. With a 2:1 guest-to-guide ratio, participants can enjoy personalized instruction and access to classic Bugaboo ascents such as the West Ridge of Pigeon Spire 5.4, the Kain Route on Bugaboo Spire 5.7, and Surfs Up on Snowpatch Spire 5.9. Intermediate and fit climbers will find this area both challenging and inspiring. Previous climbing experience is required; if you need to build prerequisite skills, consider our Alpine Skills Week or Rock Climbing Skills courses.
