the bugaboos chris atkinson Howser Towers - West FacesThe granite spires of the Bugaboos, in eastern British Columbia, are the North American version of Patagonia or the Trango Towers. With perfect rock, nice huts and campgrounds, reasonable approaches (though climate change is taking its toll on the glaciers) and proximity to Calgary and Vancouver, it is no wonder that the Bugaboos are exploding in popularity.

The granite spires of the Bugaboos, in eastern British Columbia, are the North American version of Patagonia or the Trango Towers. With perfect rock, nice huts and campgrounds, reasonable approaches (though climate change is taking its toll on the glaciers) and proximity to Calgary and Vancouver, it is no wonder that the Bugaboos are exploding in popularity. The Howser Towers are the tallest peaks in the small range, and their west faces, hidden from view, offer an incredible 1000+ meters of vertical relief, an ocean of granite splitter cracks and endless corners for the 5.8 to 5.12+ climbers. And of course, perhaps the best free climb in Canada (North America?), the ultra-classic Beckey-Chouinard on South Howser (line 26).

Had big hole in it
Color: Perching Perfection, Size: 7.5" x 6.75" x 6"
This toy had a hole in it when I got it. Like they missed a seam. I meant to return it. But I had a lot going on and forgot to. My dog loved it when I showed it to him. I handed it to him then realized it had a big hole and I had to take it away. Poor guy. He really wanted it.

Cute donuts. Not destroyed (yet!)
These squeaky doughnuts are really cute. It’s a bonus that it comes with two. I didn’t realize that when I ordered. I have two dogs and now they won’t fight over a doughnut just kidding one dog is 14 and doesn’t play with toys anymore. The other one is six and loves toys but for some reason he’s not really into this one maybe this will change but for now he only goes after it if I throw it, I’ll update this review to comment on durability if and when he starts playing with the toy, but for now it’s very adorable because it’s just sitting on the floor. Update: he picked one up only because I put it in front of him to take the photo!
