Smith Rock 21st-23rd

Eric Williams leading
Puffies, it was cold!
More leading, can't remember the climb but we were on the backside
Still a bit chilly
Warming up!

Yet another climbing trip! Daniel, Eric Williams, and I did the short journey to Smith last weekend. It was the first time this year Daniel and I have been to Smith. It was nice weather and it a little cooler than normal for this time of year (much appreciated!). Vests and capilene in the shade even! We had fun with some good leads done by all. Our Alaska trip really put a kink in our rock climbing so it's taken me quite a while to warm up this year but I'm starting to feel a bit more comfortable without ice tools in my hands...It's funny what you get used to.

Squamish!

Daniel and I spent 4 days in Squamish in the beginning of June.

We did a multipitch climb on The Apron called The Snake. A fun climb with lot's of laybacking.
We enjoyed great weather throughout the weekend. 70s and sunny everyday!
Even better yet, we stayed at a bed and breakfast for two nights, took naps, made dinner together, watched movies, and enjoyed this view!
Overall a relaxing, enjoyable weekend playing on Squamish's quality granite cracks :-)
