General Trip Plan: this trip has been **UPDATED** and will now be for any BCMC members with experience "trad" rock climbing and have good lead-belay skills.
Gear Requirements: all participants must bring their own personal climbing gear... including: harness, belay device, locking biner, climbing shoes, and helmet (no helmet = no climbing). Also highly recommended is a prussic for rappelling, a PAS (personal anchor system) for securing yourself, plenty of water and energy snacks.
Where/When to Meet: we'll meet at 10:00 am at the St. David's Church parking lot located near Hwy 1 and Taylor Way, in West Vancouver. I expect we'll be in Squamish by 11am. Our plan will be to finish in time to leave Squamish about 5pm and arrive back in West Vancouver about 6:00 pm, hopefully allowing us to miss most of the after-work traffic congestion.
Emergency Contact Info: please make sure your Emergency Contact info has been added to your web-account profile. You can do this by logging into the bcmc.ca website, click on: My Account (top of page)... then click on Edit Emergency Contact (top-left column). Please re-enter your password to complete the process. Your emergency contact info is stored *privately* and only made available to those organizing trips *you* choose to attend.
Potential Medical Issues: any info that should be shared with the organizer(s), please send an email and/or phone ASAP. For example, if you are very allergic to bee/wasp bites, or you are taking medication that could be vital information to First Aid Responders. Anything you choose to share with me will remain private.
Poor Weather Cancellation: I'll check the weather forecast for where we're going the evening before we meet. If the weather does NOT seem good enough for reasonably safe climbing then I will announce to all participants that the trip is cancelled.
