Max Number: Participant number may increase further. So, add your name to the Waiting List.

General Trip Plan: I would like to practice trad climbing on 5.6 to 5.9 routes. This trip is for members with some experience in single(multi-pitch) climbing, plus have good lead-belay skills. Each pair of climbers will need at least one person that's comfortable leading trad routes and have a trad rack. The crag will be decided depending on the skill level of participants and ability to lead mixed/trad routes.

Gear Requirements: All participants must bring their own personal climbing gear... including: harness, belay device, locking biner, climbing shoes, head lamp 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, sunscreen and energy snacks.

Where/When to Meet: Meeting at 8:00 am at the St. David's Church parking lot located near Hwy 1 and Taylor Way, in West Vancouver. We'll plan to get back to the cars by sunset at the latest. That means back to West Van by

Please self-organize car pooling to the Adventure Centre parking lot via the "Planning Forum" on top-left of this page.

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.
