Hey Guys,

the rock climbing in Squamish is full on! Lots of granite action on the best rock ever, just half an hour away from Vancouver! It’s time to leave the gyms and go outside!

We spent amazing week on the rock and ice and in the Alpine to learn the basics of Climbing and Mountaineering. Thank you Lewis, Rob and Charlie for such a wonderful times. We started in Squamish at the Murrin park. Pretty good day for  a wet March. We drove north to a Joffre Lakes Provincial park, where we spend two night winter camping. Learning Crevasse Rescue scenarios, winter multi-pitching, avalanche skills and much more. Our last day we were Ice Climbing at the Rambles on the Duffey Lake Road.

Hey Guys,

There ‘s still a lot of snow up on the hills. Please check this photos form the January skiing session. What a day with great conditions. We skied Spearhead, Decker and Blackcomb Mountian. Just a touch away from the Whistler lifts. Spearhead traverse it’s getting ready for some spring action.

Five star rock climbing . Multi-pitch experience, on the  hills of Vancouver. Lynn Valley 3.5h approach. Climb the Arete of Crow Mt. all the way to the top. Descent via tram is the best.  And having somebody at the parking lot with cold beers waiting for you . The second car is an option as well.

Thanks to Kathleen and Kristin for a nice rock climbing alpine day!

Vancouver, British Columbia

THE LIONS

We accomplished seven day Intro to Mountaineering course, learning  basic rock and alpine climbing surviving skills. The first two days we practice multi-pitch climbing and rock rescue on the Chief – Squamish. The last five days from May 24th-27th we were in Cerise Creek – Duffey lake road. Tricky spring  conditions forced us to stay low. Cornices are still big in Cerise Creek, with lots of snow on the peaks. Sun and rain effects made us travel slowly and smart. Lots of  natural slides anywhere in the afternoon. Thanks to Matt and Gareth for making this trip happen. And thank you Keit’s hut for keep us warm and dry.
