Hello!
A bit last minute, but I'm planning to do some climbing in Squamish on Saturday. Ideally I would like to check out Cheakamus Canyon; however I am open to doing more beginner-friendly areas also. Let's plan to meet at St. Davids at 8:00AM, and finish climbing around 4PM.
I will be able to drive up to Squamish; however, I won't be able to offer rides back since I have a Barbeque to attend to.
Cancellation due to Weather: If PoP for Squamish on Environment Canada's website (http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/pages/bc-50_metric_e.html) remain over 40% on Saturday morning, the trip is cancelled. As long as PoP is 40% or lower, the trip is on. If weather is not good for outdoor climbing, I will be going to Cliffhanger Vancouver.
While I'm sure the more experienced climbers will be happy to share their knowledge, this is not a climbing course. Every participant must be able to belay and is expected to have some top roping experience (indoors or outdoors). We will find an area with a variety of grades that match the participants' preference.
Meeting: 8:00AM, parking lot of St. David's United Church at Taylor Way & Hwy 1
Departure: 8:15AM sharp
We climb until 4 or 5PM, depending how the group feels.
All participants must bring their personal climbing gear (harness, belay device, locking biner, climbing shoes) and a headlamp (just incase). Also highly recommended is a helmet, prussik for rappelling, water, and snacks.
Ropes & anchor material for this event are provided by participants and not by the club. If you have a full strength climbing rope and anchor material, please do bring it.
