After our trips to BC and Montana we dropped down to familiar territory. A quick 6 day circuit of the Shadow and Baptiste Lakes region yielded some great routes in places I hadn't been before. The highlight of this visit had to be our failed attempt to put in a new line on the striking West Buttress of Bollinger.
