mmcmurra Posted November 4, 2002 Posted November 4, 2002 Went to Squamish for the weekend, since the forecast looked better than Smith, and sure enough, it was gorgeous. But the campgrounds were all closed, which was a complete surprise to me! Someone at the crag mentioned a place to camp near the spit/river. Is there a preferred place to camp "off-season"? The guidebook mentioned nothing of seasonal closures, and we checked out almost all the nearby recommended campgrounds. BTW, had a great time at the Smoke Bluffs. Finally led my first trad .10! Witnessed an interesting situation: as we were leaving, a guy was leading up Corn Flakes, and about halfway up he ran into a guy solo downclimbing it. Neither party saw the other from the bottom/top when they started, and there seemed to be a brief bit of awkwardness as they passed each other. Is there any "passing" etiquette in this situation?

Dru Posted November 4, 2002 Posted November 4, 2002 Passing etiquette = American Gladiators style. Kick and hit and push and so on. As for free camping, when the campground is closed, it means you can camp for free cause no one will be there to collect $$$. Quote
salbrecher Posted November 5, 2002 Posted November 5, 2002 Passing etiquette=don't knock off free soloer. Quote
