Possibly the most iconic multi-day traverse in North America, the Bugs to Rogers Traverse spans three mountain ranges, 80+ miles of distance and over 30k vertical feet of elevation gain. Though the challenges don’t come in the numbers alone, the route is littered with complex navigational challenges, sudden and savage storms, crucial and consequential decision making and surviving in the wild with nothing but your wits and what’s in your pack. It’s no meadow skipping glacier cruise, the Bugs to Rogers Traverse a full on test of mountain skills and mental grit.
This is Part 3, the finality of a 3-part episodic series of The FIFTY documenting the classic line, the Bugs to Rogers Traverse.

I don't recall if he said how much his pack weighed, but but skiing heavy spring snow with a full multiday pack on 90mm skis would take more energy than than 106s. Plus, the wider skis would take less energy skinning in the deeper snow. I have two pair of b/c skis at 95 and 105. When I take the 95s and am skinning in deep snow, I'm using much more energy than I would with the 105s. There's obviously a balance between conditions and the gear used. Maybe I'd take something around 100 having seen this. At 63, I went light about 4 years ago and the difference in weight with carbon skis of different widths isn't that much.

Absolutely gripping, potentially poop-taking, and brilliant episode! BJARNE IS A HERO! You need to do an episode on his skills, efforts, and prep and dedication! Couldn't help but wonder how often you changed layers (and where they went) to keep from sweating and chilling; what foods you ate; how finding your caches would have been impossible if the GPS were inop or inaccurate; what you'd have done in that case; how you'll minimize the risk to complete the final 10/50. Stay safe ..... Thanks Salomon .... 👍

The feeling of hitting the Bugaboo-Snowpatch Col at the end (for us on Day 14). Indescribable. You mentioned BCS Pass. I wonder if that is what we called Bill's Pass, the penultimate pass. There used to be a plastic igloo on the N Side of Bill's Pass. Maybe it is gone now. I could not tell for sure, but I think you went over Climax Col and descended the SE side to then climb onto the Conrad Icefield. On the climb to Climax Col we had a potentially serious avalanche (1990), but no injuries or burials. Lost one ski pole. Superb work on the filming and editing and getting across the beauty and difficulties and satisfaction of this famous route. I have only done 3 of the 50: Tuk, Buffalo (my back yard) and RP to Bugs. I have loved following this series. Edit; I see now that BCS is the last col -- the Bugaboo-Snowpatch Col. I have never heard BCS: Maybe Bugaboo-Crescent-Snowpatch?

This prompt me to ask, next time you make a bonus video about your gear, can you please give us details about skins maintenance and handling? Some people say we should keep them dry, other say we should keep them outside before using them so they can cool down, etc and I'm getting pretty mixed up. I just screwed the glue on mines. It would be appreciated! Thanks!

Sleeping bag question! - You mentioned about your sleeping bag being wet. Would it not be worth the couple of extra 100g for a bivi bag. Something like the ALPKIT bivi bag that goes over your sleeping bag. Virtually fully waterproof and breathable. Widely used by the military to keep sleeping bags dry when just sleeping on a mat overnight. Awesome content as always.

@CodyTownsend Жыл бұрын
A lot of moisture comes from the inside as well as outside when sleeping in a down bag in the winter. Personally I've found that I give off a lot of humidity at night and sleeping with a bivy bag has made me the wettest I've ever been when winter camping. So I typically avoid them unless it's an emergency situation.

Where does the name "Bugaboo" come from? It's quite possibly the greatest mountain range name ever. I name a lot of peaks I film out here on Vancouver Island as they don't have names and may have to come up with a clever spin-off of that name.

It looks amazing, love this trilogy! What did you do with the containers for fuel etc in your stashes? Carry them out? Leave them? Are you planning to collect them later on if you did leave them?

We burned the wood and carried out the plastic. Besides some charcoal that'll disappear in a season or two, we left nothing out there, including the screws that we pinned the boxes together with.

Awesome! Great to hear you guys were so able to practice Leave No Trace principals! I think I speak for everyone watching this, we would love a load out and logistics video about you traverse. That seamed like half the battle with this one!

Great series on this traverse! Would you mind explaining what you are doing with the wand at 9:13? I'm assuming you are looking for depressions in the snow that you can't see in the flat light, but is that for crevasses and if so why not rope up?

More for just wind lips, wind drifts and general sight. It's so straining on your eyes walking in those whiteouts that any little bit of contrast can help ease the strain. And yes, if we were actually worried about crevasses, we would've roped up.

Hey! I want to know too. I've got a pair of the new MTN Summit Labs and I'd love to cork em out...though I tried at the dealer and they don't fit easily in the shell. I ended up not getting them, but they would ski way better with em. How'd you manage the zips in the shell? Any mods to the gaiter?

The last hut you stayed at was it the Conrad Kain Hut. From there did you helicopter back to the main road or to Golden
