Description

I know a lot of people are eagerly awaiting the start of the club’s Thursday Night Climbing in Squamish.  This isn’t it!  But since the weather is looking good for Thursday, this is a trip along a similar vein.  We will not have access to the club ropes for this event, so please bring your own rope if you have one.  But you’re still welcome to come and share if you don’t.

We will be climbing at one of the crags in the Smoke Bluffs or Murrin Park that offer climbs with a wide range of difficulties and opportunities for lead climbing and top-roping. Currently there is no rain in the forecast for Thursday. If this changes and the weather turns out to be such that rock climbing is not possible, this event will get cancelled on Thursday morning. Check back here then!

We meet at 4pm in the parking lot of St. David’s church at the Taylor Way exit of Hwy 1. From there we carpool to Squamish – usually Smokes Bluffs or Murrin Park, the decision where to go is made around 4pm at the carpool location. If you like to meet us in Squamish directly please send a text to the organizer (see Organizer’s contact info) before 4pm to find out where we are going.

There is also an ACC Thursday Night Climbing Whatsapp group to share photos, etc. We’ll also post the location of the crag where we are going there. Send an email to the organizer if you want to join that Whatsapp group.

Necessary Equipment: climbing harness, helmet, belay device, climbing shoes, rope if possible

Recommended Equipment: headlamp
