hikerwa Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 I heard a vicious rumor that there might be some climbers that I am aquianted with going to squamish. I would love to meet up with and or give rides to some of the aforementioned climbers. Please pm me. sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 Squamish for Saturday and Sunday (Environment Canada): Chance of showers; low 6°C; high 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelawgoddess Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 How about next weekend? I might be up for leaving Saturday night and coming back late on Monday or Tuesday if anyone's looking for a ride and climbing partner. Would love to do some multi-pitch stuff ...

hikerwa Posted May 20, 2002 Author Share Posted May 20, 2002 On and off sprinkle in l-worth all day. clamshell cave and hammerhead rock, dry, but crowded, several large groups on all the easy stuff. placed some gear on top rope, tested placements, most were pretty bomber! all in all a good day, topped off by some entertainment of a first time drunk at the restaurant bar, glad we weren't with her, and several cold ones. yay, shoulda gone to squamish.

bellemontagne Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Aside from the Student Wall, Smith has some great basalt cracks. The (Crooked River) Gorge is full of AWESOME trad opportunities. If you can lead harder trad routes (>5.9) then you will love the Gorge. There are some classic multipitch cracks in the welded tuff though they aren't quite as aesthetically pleasing as the cracks in the gorge. However many of the topouts of the multipitch cracks have aboslutely wonderful views that make the journey (and quite possibly the wait in line) completely worth it.

Cpt.Caveman Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 You're so cool Dru. I think we smoke about 15 bowls and waited 2 hours for some gal to lead a 100 foot pitch. Then dropped our ropes down for locals too scared to lead the last pitch of Diedre and while looking at NW passage heard the crash.
