UPDATE: the meeting time has changed to 7am so we can climb when it's cooler.

Expect a day of either trad crack or bolted slab routes.  There will be opportunities for leading if you've acquired those skills and are keen... otherwise seconding with good lead-belay skills is fine. Sometimes we'll go the Apron and link up lower & upper area routes... and other times we'll go to one of the taller walls that have 2+ pitch routes.

All participants must bring their personal climbing gear... including: harness, belay device, locking biner, climbing shoes, and helmet. Also highly recommended is a prussic for rappelling, a PAS (personal anchor system) for securing yourself, plenty of water and energy 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.

While the more experienced climbers are usually happy to share their knowledge, this is not a climbing course. Every participant must be able to lead-belay and is expected to have some multi-pitch rock climbing experience.

Meet at 7:00 am at St. David's Church parking lot at Hwy 1 and Taylor Way, West Vancouver. If you need a ride to the church, please post a request in this trip's planning forum.  We'll aim to arrive back in Vancouver about 3:00 pm.

Cancellation due to weather: - check the weather forecast for where we're going on the morning of the trip (Environment Canada - weatheroffice.gc.ca). If the forecast is 40% PoP or less then we'll go. Anything *above* 40% PoP and the trip is automatically cancelled... *unless* the trip organizer contacts the group to say otherwise.
