Chris, the Bugaboos and a Grizzly Bear
Chris and I recently went to the Bugaboos and had a great adventure involving lots of fresh snow and a hungry grizzly bear.
It wasn’t too hot or too buggy on our rainy hike up to the Kain Hut : )
On July 3, we hike up to Eastpost Spire via Appleby campground where there was a meter of snow still! We had about 20cm foot pen in the new fresh snow. Very skiiable.
We decided to make a day of getting back to the car and so we headed over the Brenta-Cobalt Lake Sattelite Spire Col to Cobalt Lake.
Then the Grizzly incident. He was not scared of us. There was no bluff charge. He just wanted what he smelled and it was coming from our direction and that was all.
After Chris scared the bear off we got ourselves up and over Black Forest ridge and onto the donkey trail back to the trailhead. Good times.
Thanks for the trip Chris. A Grand Adventure.
Thanks for the news, looks like winter! Heading in there tomorrow. Do think cresent area will be dry and climbable? Paddle flake? West face of snowpatch? Hope we don’t see you grizzly friend. Thanks
