This trip is only open to BCMC Mentorship Program participants. Preference will be given to mentees of the organizer (mentor). The organizer can open this trip to other mentees/mentors if needed.

General Trip Plan: We'll climb some easy multi -pitch routes (5.6-5.9) on the Chief, depending on the weather forecast. The goal will be to avoid too much direct sun and heat. We will review and practise to review current multi-pitch trad climbing skills like building gear anchors, efficiently swapping leads, etc.

All Participants should be able to trad lead-belay.

After climbing, in case the Hwy traffic looks bad, we might consider getting some food in Squamish if everybody in the group was up for it.

Gear Requirements: All participants must bring their own personal climbing gear... including: Trad rack, nut tool, 60+m rope, 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, insect repellant and energy snacks.

Where/When to Meet: Let's meet at 6:00am location TBD in Metro Vancouver for car pooling or in Squamish (planning forum or WhatsApp group).

Cancellation due to Weather: If PoP for Squamish on Environment Canada's website (https://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/bc-50_metric_e.html) remains above 50% for the day, the trip might be cancelled. Final decision will be made in the morning of the event.
