Bugaboo Link Up Record
Paul Cordy, Paul Bride, Nathan Kukathas and I just returned from a successful trip to the Bugaboo Range. This is a quick note and a future post with images and a full report will arrive soon.
I was able to climb "in a day" the biggest link up done yet in the Bugs.

Nice work, Matt. I look forward to seeing the photos.
Nice. I was wondering if somebody would repeat Crofts crazy circuit. Did you bring a rope for raps down snowpatch and Howser?Most groups take a long day to climb the Becky/Chouinard.
