Climb: 1h45min
Descent and walk back to camp: 1h15min
Total time: 4hrs
It was a cold morning with frost on the ground down at valley in the parking lot of the Bugaboos. The temperature warmed up quickly once the sun was out. We woke at 0700h and headed up the trail once again by 0900h. With lighter packs we made it up to the campsite in 1h45min. We had a quick bite to eat and left at 1200h to go climb Lions Way (5.6) on Crescent Towers. The climb was fun with some route-finding challenges. Pat and I simul-climbed most of it except for one pitch which we led off-route slightly to the left about 3 pitches up. We were back in camp early enough to relax and refuel for tomorrow.
