Poor Weather Cancellation: Check the weather forecast for Squamish on the evening before the trip (weather.gc.ca/city/pages/bc-50_metric_e.html). The trip is maintained as long as the forecast is 40% PoP or less. Anything above 40% PoP and we'll meet at Cliffhanger at 10 am instead.

Cheakamus Canyon is a bit of the 'sport climbing mecca' of the Lower Mainland. Lots of various pockets of climbs from 'easy' 5.8's up to 'crazy' 5.14d's. I personally lead up to 5.9 comfortably and started venturing into 5.10a territory.

We'll meet at St. David's Church, 1525 Taylor Way to depart at 8:30 am and plan on coming back to Vancouver around 7:00 pm at the latest. Carpooling can be organized via the trip "Planning Forum" (see link above left column).

Gear Requirements: All participants must bring their own personal climbing gear, incl. harness, belay device, locking biner, climbing shoes and helmet. Also recommended are a PAS (personal anchor system), prussic, sunscreen, water and snacks.
