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.

100% in love ❤️
Color: Champagne Fawn, Size: 60"x80"
If you're on the fence about this blanket like I was, I can confidently tell you - Just buy it! This blanket has become my new emotional support blanket. Immediately out of the box I knew this was going to be luxurious. You can Immediately feel the incredible softness and weight, with the visual attention to detail and beautiful coloration. This blanket was definitely well made and worth the price. I can't get enough of the touch and feel of the faux fur, it is beyond soft and tranquil. I sometimes use it in place of my bed comforter because of how amazing it feels on the skin. It is quite hefty, with an estimated weight of 10 pounds with the 60 x 80 size, but I feel as though it adds to the luxurious comfort. I also love how it will keep you warm, but it won't make you sweat. It still has a cooling effect. You will not regret buying this blanket - Treat yourself!

Talk about SOFT!!!
Color: Champagne Fawn, Size: 50"x60"
Definitely a premium product! Softness is a 10/10 very little shedding and the stitching is solid. Medium to heavy weighted throw blanket. Picture is exactly what u get in person. It’s very cool to the touch and again so soft and dense. I lay with it on me watching tv and it’s definitely a sensory thing, I can’t stop touching it. Best blanket I ever had. The material underneath is very soft as well and keeps you warm. I bought the matching pillow case and it’s equally just as good. In my opinion it’s worth the money if u have it to spend. I plan on getting the bigger size blanket on prime day.

GORGEOUS!
Color: Champagne Fawn, Size: 60"x80"
Large and durable faux fur that is heavy and keeps you warm. It is so soft and fluffy. Super good quality and I love the champagne color. The cotton content is perfect and feels extremely soft on the skin. The price is high even though I bought it on sale. The value is worth it and I will buy another one when it goes on sale!
