Trip Report

Buller was a very fun mountain. It isn't climbed that often and there is no clear trail to the summit. Part of the climb was bushwhacking and part of it was clear climbing on shitty scree slopes.

The trickiest part of Buller was on the final summit slopes where little rocks on bigger slabs threatened to send you tumbling off the mountain.


Shawn downclimbs the bump on the west side of the col. The summit is directly opposite the bump on the east side.

A long ways to go from here, still 300 vertical meters.

Mount Nestor is across the Spray Lakes reservoir as seen from the col on Buller.

Mount Bogart is prominent from the summit.

Mount Assiniboine stands out from the summit.

Jeff brought out the rope to help some people over the slabs strewn with pebbles.
