"Trad' style climbing with some mixed routes that include bolts. There should be opportunities for both leading and top-roping depending skill levels. We can decide on the climbing areas at the meet up parking lot at St. David's Church Saturday morning.
It will be a busy at Squamish this weekend and we planned to leave early and can head back earlier around 3 pm depending on the group.
All participants must bring their personal climbing gear including: harness, belay device, locking biner, climbing shoes, and helmet. Also highly recommended is a prussic for rappelling, a PAS (personal anchor system) for securing yourself, 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. Every participant should be able to lead-belay and is expected to have *at least* some top roping experience (indoors and/or outdoors).
Meet at 6:45 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 before 7.00 pm.
