Snowpatch Spire West Face - Pigeon Spire North Face
Snowpatch Spire West Face - Pigeon Spire North Face
Couldn't load pickup availability
Like the nearby Howser Towers, the two granite peaks of Snowpatch and Pigeon Spires have very different characters depending on which aspect you look at: long and steep on their east and south aspects, with extreme aid and free routes (and now rockfall), and a lot more moderate on very reasonable 300m high faces rising above the Vowell glacier. The west ridge of Pigeon Spire, in particular, is an easy classic with a very unique feature: pit toilets with the best view in Canada!
