Description:
Hi,
This trip is good for you if you are like me and want to get out on the long weekend, but cannot commit to a full weekend trip.
The plan is to wake up at a comfortable time on Sunday and drive to Murrin Park in Squamish. I have not been climbing that much yet this season so I am interested in doing some easy sport climbing 5.7-5.10a is my range max. If you are more experienced you are of course still welcome to come...all the better! After some nice craiging we can go for a swim in Murrin Lake before heading back to the city (skinny dip challenge anyone?!). plan to head back sometime around 5 pm. This trip is weather dependant. Rightnow the forecast says it will be OK, but rain is expected during the week so this could change.
This is a non instructional trip, so I expect you to know atleast Rock 1: know how to put on a harness and belay. I can do up to Rock 3 comfortably: so can set up and clean anchors and lead sport, so I can set up a top rope for people in our group if necessary. I do not plan on doing any trad.
No pretrip, conversation will be done over email. Sign Up is first come first serve. I will email people on Thursday. **if you have a rope or sport gear, please let me know** I have one rope and one set of sport gear.
Things you will need include: harness, climbing shoes, climbing helmet, chalk is nice to have, a lunch, bathing suit and towel (unless you want to be wet the rest of the day), a belay device and some beaners, money for your driver, atleast 2L water, sun protection (hat, glasses, sunscreen).
Happy Longweekend
