General Trip Plan: We'll climb some easy to moderate single-pitch routes (A0-A1, 5.8-5.10) in the Smoke Bluffs. Let's climb some routes on aid if the cracks are still wet or to put up a TR on a harder route. Then, let's climb trad once the walls are drier.

All Participants should be able to lead-belay. Preference may be given to those with experience in aid/trad leading. 

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: Let's meet at 8:00am at St. David's Church parking lot near 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 get back to the cars by sunset, at the latest.

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