- Abstract
- In 1916 Conrad Kain cemented his reputation as one of the greatest mountaineers of his era by reaching the summit of Bugaboo Spire in BC's Purcell Mountains, considered one of the most difficult climbs at the time. One hundred years later, four Canadian mountaineers set out to re-enact Kain's extraordinary feat, climbing the 3,204m Bugaboo Spire with the same equipment that was used in 1916 - and bringing to life one of the great outdoor adventures of the Canadian frontier. The film "Hobnails and Hemp Rope" tells their story (from DVD)
