Oh and beware if you climb the NE ridge of Bugaboo after 4 days of storms like first time I did it in 1980. The top 4 pitches were coated in ice, we had 1 axe each , full shank boots, and no ice gear. I did a lot of chopping and the last bump we had to climb from rock to rock sticking out of the ice.

There is something special about 5.8 climbs. They’re hard enough to hold interest and require attentive movement but easy enough to keep the climbing relaxed. All in all, 5.8s usually serve up a delicious menu of climbing delights.

Not to mention that many old 5.8's have been upgraded to 5.9 (outside of Joshua Tree that is)

Legitimation 5.8 *** FA Munge and Mtnyoung Autumn of 2004, SPH
mtnyoung getting in one of the later bolts. Someone didn't bring enough draws on his go, so the bottom clips were repurposed. :)
