Trip: West Vancouver - the traverse

 

Date: 2/24/2008

 

Trip Report:

There were a horrible number of spiders. Therapy might uncover the buried details of the climb but who has the time or money? Here are the pictures.

 

 

How can there be spiders in February?

Those spiders aren't the spiders from Charlotte's Web, that die off like clockwork every fall.

 

They are more like the facehuggers from Alien. They hibernate in the cracks until you traverse under them, then they jump on your face. If they miss, a sea lion eats them.

 

It's a short and brutal life but it has its own particular charm.
