Easy to moderate rock climbing on top-rope routes at Juniper Point in Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver (5.6 to 5.11a)
General Trip Plan: It's supposed to be sunny and dry on Monday. Let's get on the rock after this week's rain. :)
Juniper Point in Lighthouse Park is a fast drying area with S-SW exposure right by the ocean. This crag has shorter routes, no more than gym height, but offers a good variety of difficulty.

This trip is for BCMC members with some experience climbing top rope. Each pair of climbers should have someone comfortable setting up top-rope anchors. I have seen a few people climb trad at this crag but there are no established trad routes.
The number of participants is limited as it is a smaller crag with only establised 8 routes and 5 anchors. I may increase a bit it depending on the car pooling situation.
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 are a PAS (personal anchor system) for securing yourself, a prussic for safe rappelling, sunscreen, plenty of water and snacks.
Where/When to Meet: We'll meet early at 11:00 am at the St David's United Church parking lot located at Highway 1 & Taylor Way, in West Vancouver.
Please self-organize car pooling to the meeting spot via the "Planning Forum" on top-left of this page.

Poor Weather Cancellation: You can find the weather forecast for where we're going at TWN [http://www.theweathernetwork.com/ca/outdoors/parks/cabc2949].
