Intermediate (5.10-5.11) sport climbing in Squamish

General Trip Plan:  This trip is for people with experience in climbing sport lead.
Each pair of climbers should have someone comfortable leading 5.10-5.11 routes. We will decide the crag based on dryness after the rain on Saturday. There may be no to very few routes at 5.9 or easier grades.

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 is 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 at 9:00 am at the St. David's Church parking lot located at Hwy 1 and Taylor Way, in West Vancouver.  Our plan will be to head back to Vancouver after the worst part of the weekend traffic.

Please self-organize car pooling to the church via the "Planning Forum" on top-left of this page.

Poor Weather Cancellation: Check the weather forecast for where we're going on the morning of the trip (Environment Canada - weatheroffice.gc.ca). If the forecast is 50% PoP or less then we'll go). Anything above 50% PoP and the trip is automatically cancelled unless the trip organizer contacts the group to say otherwise. If cancelled, we will likely set up an indoor climbing event instead.
