Squamish on Memorial Day Weekend

[thelawgoddess]

always good to hear that people had a good time up there!

Nice work, isnt Alexis crack on private property now? Not that I give two fucks about that guy.

 

FYI:Second pitch to local boys is good better protected and the hardest move is getting of the belay.

 

I was also surprised about the lack of people there, probably the heat, climbed at the base of the cheif next to two weirdos and their dog. I dont think there is anything worse than having to listen to a couple climb together, waah waah, all day then the dog started whining.

 

Scoped Milk Run Proly head back for that one this weekend, any one ever get on it?

If you had been near me and the lady, you would have probably heard similar, although we both had a great trip.

 

The right hand side of Alexis is on private property, but the left 4 to 6 routes are open if I interpreted the signs correctly.

So where did you sleep anyway?

We stayed at the Cheif campground. Th Cheif campground had tons of available walk in sites on Saturday. Alice lakes was full, as we actually checked there first. We checked out the private CG (brennan park I think), but didn't find the camping there as appealing, although it was wide open as well (only one camper).

Not to disrepspect Trog, but how do you do it I mean how can you include bickering and climbing, I would chop the rope yates style, time and time again I realize why I would NEVER EVER have a climbing girlfriend, yet most climbers want one, its crazy talk

[TrogdortheBurninator]

Sometimes its tough, but you are way more excited when your partner succeeds on something hard for them. I try to mix climbing with my SO with climbing with buddies. When climbing with the SO, I'm not looking to do anything bold, just enjoy doing something fun together. Bickering detracts somewhat, but thats the price you pay.

It's like a little slice of Index transported to Squish.

[jmace]

Never been to Index,you get on it Darin?

Climbed at neat and cool for half the day on Sat, Shannon falls and Alexis Cracks on Sun, and Penny Lane on Mon morning.

 

Hey my blond wife and I (short dark haired kid) were at Penny Lany on Monday morning. We may have rapped down on ya. Did we see you next to the old german dude?

 

BTW, in case anyone was wondering, Rock On is still wet. Real wet. A team from Bellingham bailed on Sat. right in front of us, 'cause they didn't like the looks of it. Felt like spelunking. Great weekend. But real wet. Take a snorkle.

I don't want to turn this into a relationship thread, but...

 

In my experience couples who bicker when they climb together probably bicker when they are off the rock too. Probably has nothing to do with whether they are climbers or not. Find someone you respect and enjoy spending time with, and if your style is to bicker try not to subject others to your warped sense of partnership.

Could have been us, we climbed penny lane right after German dude's belayer seconded the route. German dude was still hanging around solo toproping for a while. There was a couple at the base when we showed up, but no one rapped above us that I remember. There was another couple there right after us that helped us with a rope snafu, maybe you saw them (they were from New York).
