UPDATE: this trip has be rescheduled to Tuesday.

Our plan will be to climb the popular Star Chek 3p 5.8+ route... twice so each climber can lead all pitches if that's what everyone wants.  If there is time afterward then we'll go to one of the sport climbing areas close by and find a wall with moderate routes; somewhere close to the parking area.

I expect all participants to bring their own personal climbing gear... including: harness, belay device, locking biner, climbing shoes, and helmet (no helmet = no climbing).  Highly recommended is a prussic for rappelling, a PAS (personal anchor system) for securing yourself to an anchor.  Please note that ropes & anchor material for this event are provided by participants and not by the club.

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

Due to the HOT weather forecast (low 30's), we'll meet very early at 6:30 am at St. David's Church parking lot at Hwy 1 and Taylor Way in West Vancouver, to climb when it's cooler (and return earlier).  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 to avoid most of the late afternoon rush hour traffic.

Cancellation due to weather: - I'll check the weather forecast 12 hours before we meet and if the forecast is less than 40% PoP then expect to go.
