October 8th to 11th 2006






Squamish has been so beautiful! The weather is absolutely amazing! Don’t get me wrong, I’m still freezing my butt off at night, but it is totally worth it! The rock is really cold (lots of friction) and the forest is very quiet. Jeff is a natural on the rock…he’s made the transition from plastic look like a breeze (my fingers disagree with this transition…my tips are purple and on the verge of combusting).

Linz and Nevin, the camper is going to rock! You have to let us stay in it for a night…it’ll be like the ritz carlton after tenting for a month. Nah, the tent is awesome, but the camper takes the cake. Linz, I’m expecting it to be stocked full of all the homemade goodness you fed us on the farm. You can nourish our deprived bodies of good food!

Post Script (by Matt): My trip began with a little bad luck, the first fork in the road occurred about 1 minute out of Saskatoon. I managed to turn to Biggar, rather than Rosetown… Ominous? Not at all. The next fork in the road came when we had to decide to either stop in Squilax or drive on to Kamloops, or all night, for that matter. By stopping we were able to check out the salmon run. That was well worth it.

We have had some great climbing, great jokes, beautiful scenery and FRESH AIR!! It has been a blast. We are all climbing hard and close to completing some difficult lines up the boulders, we’ll see how today goes…

The climbing on our last day was so awesome! We all had our projects that we worked till it got too cold in the forest to bear it. All three of us made a lot of progress, and Holly and Jeff sent V4’s (Matt didn’t officially send it, but it was a mere technicality). The pictures don’t do it%2
