New to bouldering and want to give it a try? Sense of adventure and a good sense of humor? Only have time for a few hours? This could be the trip for you. Deep Cove has a smattering of V0s that are easily accessible and a decent amount of fun. At my last visit, there was moss growing in a few key places, but the projects are quite entertaining. I am trying to track down a crash pad, and while the routes are easy enough that you might not need it, it is quite nice to have, so I suggest attempting to track one down if you don't have one already. I think Hive Heights used to rent pads? Anyway, I'll also bring a brush and scraper to touch up the rough spots. You will want rock shoes, possibly chalk. Beer is optional. This trip is about as casual as it can get without being a social, and you can come and go as you please.

The areas are Minor Threat Boulders (check out the project "Moshing Squirrel Slamming Chipmunk", its my fav!) and Pennywise Boulders. We will meet at 4PM at 5th Avenue and Yew Street (Kitsilano), or you can meet us at the trailhead if you prefer (Indian Arm Drive, I'll send the exact coordinates).

Trip will be canceled if it rains, even slightly. The boulders will become encased in mossy slime, which is no bueno.

Essential items to bring:

Headlight

Water/snack
