Bugaboos Panorama from a previous trip	Sunshine Crack on Snowpatch Spire - the climb we did on our first day	Unfortunately we got a flat tire. I drove for 4-5 miles until we were able to get off the main road and find a pull-out where we could fix it.

	In the Bugaboos parking lot at last, with a fixed tire. Chicken-wire prevents the porcupines from eating the radiator hoses and brake lines (it is not a joke, they do!)	One of the bastards that eats your truck if you forget to chicken-wire it. OK, they are cute, at least!

	It is hard to imagine a more beautiful place to camp	Good morning! Waking up to this view from our tent!	The moon rising with Snowpatch Spire to the left (where we were about to go climbing)

	Starting the first pitch of Sunshine Crack	The ominous offwidth looming above me

	Another splitter crack - awesome!	The Howser Towers as seen from the climb	Another nice and long pitch...

		The last pitch - the cherry on top! This started with 100' of #4 camalot fists in a perfect crack. I only had a single #4 and had to bump it along (but was able to place a #5 in one spot to leave behind).	Finishing the last pitch of Sunshine Crack with the Howsers in the background

	Awesome view from the top - note the shadow of Bugaboos Spire (left) and Snowpatch Spire (right)	Looking at Snowpatch Spire and our climb, as we descend back to our tent and a much-deserved dinner	Melissa with Snowpatch Spire (left) and Bugaboo Spire (right) behind her

		Hanging out on the porch	Does it get better than this?

	Applebee		Paddle Flake DIrect, first pitch. Actually pretty fun!

	Snowpatch Spire on the right, with our climb from a couple of days ago visible!	2nd pitch	Snowpatch Spire (left) and Pigeon Spire (right/behind)

	On top of Crescent Spire	Enjoying the view!

		Walking back to camp	So beautiful!

		Nate and Blake walking up to the east face of Snowpatch to try one of the new free climbs there - sweet!	Hiking out - sad to leave, but happy by the prospect of hot springs and beer!

		Goodbye, Bugaboos - until next tim
