Description:

So a year back, on Linda's May Long Frenchman's trip, I got separated from the VOC and ended up getting adopted by a group of cool hippies from Rossland who sent hard and drank PBR like it was nobody's business. These folks have invited me to return and climb with them over May long this year and I'm stoked to get down there and send!! 

I would love to bring a crew of motivated VOC'ers down to join my hippie friends. 

For context, Frenchman's coulée at Vantage is an excellent climbing area close to the desert in central Washington. In addition to beautiful structures called the 'feathers' that you can climb, there are also some spicy trad routes. For fun, you can swim in the Columbia River and drive to George, Washington, to marvel at the singular lime available for purchase in the gas station.

 

Who's in?

For this trip ideally I'd love to take a small group of experienced climbers (lead belay, competent sport climbers) but I can be persuaded to take beginners if there is sufficient stoke :D
