Expect a day of mixed Sport and Trad climbing on easier 5.7-5.10a routes in the Squamish area. There should be opportunities for both leading and top-roping... depending on skill levels. We'll most likely climb in the Squamish Bluffs in an area with lots of "easier" routes.
All participants must bring their personal climbing gear... including: harness, belay device, locking biner, climbing shoes, and helmet. Also recommended is a prussic for rappelling, a PAS (personal anchor system) for securing yourself, plus plenty of water and energy snacks.
Ropes & anchor material for this event are provided by participants and not by the club. If you have a full strength climbing rope and anchor material, please do bring it.
While the more experienced climbers are usually happy to share their knowledge, this is not a climbing course.
Meet at 10:30 am at St. David's Church parking lot at Hwy 1 and Taylor Way, West Vancouver. 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 by 6:30 pm.
