Second only to the west faces of the Howser Towers in size but much steeper and a lot easier to access, the east face of Snowpatch Spire has been one of the main playgrounds of the Bugaboos since Fred Beckey (again!) opened the first line on the wall in 1959. In 2015, it became home to one of the hardest free big wall lines in the world, the Tom Egan Memorial Route at 5.14a.


Unfortunately, in December 2022, the fault line of Bugaboo Corner finally gave way, and a large portion of the lower right face came crashing down the glacier. Many routes, including Tom Egan, are now gone. The upper portion of the ultra-classic Sunshine Crack, on the edge of the face, might still be climbable if an alternative start can be found.

We love this book!
Format: Hardcover
My son and I originally found this book together for free on Nook and Kindle. We read it together, and it is hilarious! I loved it as much as he did. He loved it so much, he wanted an actual print copy he could take to school. We are also planning to buy another one to donate to his school library, and he has convinced several of his friends to buy it at their school book fair. If you have a kid in k-5, get this book. It is a cute story, but smart, too. Very funny! Tom Watson doesn't talk down to his readers, but writes in a way that lets them be in on the joke, too.

Just a good time read.
Format: Hardcover
Funny, funny and funny again. Stick Dog shares a lot of dog wisdom with his small band of diversified followers while they scout for food , or better yet, dreamily scheme to confiscate a few delicious morsels. Shared antics, back door begging knowledge, a dog's eye view of the more upscale garbage pickins' lead this foursome of mixed mongrels through some challenging romps all tied up in low keyed humor that builds to giggles and "Don't stop now, Mom, pleaseeeeee"" reading sessions. Funny dogs, funny story and fun to read again! Maybe that IS the best part - "Mom, read it again".

Bed storytime
My grand daughter is enamoured with the character in the book Stick Dog, he and his friends are always hungry and work out plans as to how they are going to get something to eat. My grand daughter likes the way Stick Dog is the leader in a unobtrusive way, she reads part of a book on her kindle each night before going to sleep. I have purchased all the books of Stick Dog by this author for her because she wants to know what else he is up to next. Great reading for 10 year olds.

Definitely a Must-Have
Scent: Sandalwood
This beard kit is legit. The sandalwood scent is clean and manly without being overpowering, which makes it great for everyday wear. The oils and balms actually soften coarse beard hair, reduce itch, and leave the beard looking healthier and more manageable. Packaging feels premium and the pump bottles are easy to use — no mess, no waste. I’ve tried a lot of beard kits over the years, and this one hits the sweet spot for quality, scent, and value. Highly recommend if you want a well-groomed beard that doesn’t smell like “baby powder mixed with perfume.” If you have facial hair, you’ll notice a difference after the first use. Worth every penny.
