Dale and I arrived in the Bugs intent on taking a trip up the Midnight Route. When Mark arrived we became a threesome and had a great time on the route. It was a big intro for Dale doing a route this big. He lead the last pitch to the bivy on the NE Ridge and got there just about midnight. I think this was the 2nd ascent. Weather went south after that, but we stuck around for a few more days before heading over to Lake Louise.
