New girl in town - looking for some girls to rock with

[slhanay]

Hey!

I just moved to Squamish and the season is still young. Looking for motivated outdoor partners for climbing and outdoor activities. I am totally in for most activities like

- climbing (sport routes around the 5.9s at the moment as I haven´t done lots recently, happy to second on trad/ MP routes)
- bouldering
- hiking/ mountaineering/ scrambling/ exploring
- kajaking
- running

There is so much to do here - lets get out there!!!!

Hey!

Living in Vancouver right now, but moving up for July. I am at a similar level with my climbing skills, but I would love to get out and get better. I have the summer off and would love to get out!

Hey!

I am also pretty new to Squamish and would definitely love to meet some rad new ladies to climb (sport, trad/mp and boulder leading 5.9. - 5.10) and hang with. I will be working part time over the summer, but will have a lot of free time as well, especially during the week. I climb, run and hike regularly - all at pretty moderate levels - it sounds like we might be a good match!

feel free to shoot me an email: jenssocool(at)hotmail.com

Cheers,

Jen

Hey Ladies,

I'm Carrie and I'm moving into town and would also love to meet some women that love playing in the outdoors as much I do! I'll be working part-time so will have lots of spare time as well. Email me! c.falula(at)gmail(dot)com

Excited to see this thread! I just moved Bellingham and want to spend significant time climbing in Squamish this year. I have a couple of seasons of experience and I'm leading 5.7 trad at the moment. For sure I'm going to be in Squamish June 22-23 with a pal of mine from Seattle and it would be great to meet up and climb together.

Hoping to find someone interested in venturing over to the Valhallas this year too. I got really inspired during a week in the Bugs last year and then started dreaming of a long weekend that looked something like Steph's post here: http://www.summitpost.org/4-climbs-in-t ... eim/547730

Looking for (female) trad / TR partners the end of July. Will be driving up from Bellingham mid morning on 7/27; I can bring someone up from WA or Vancouver. Available to climb afternoon of 7/27 (Friday), all day 7/29 (Sunday), all day 7/31 (Tuesday). I might be available later in the day/early evening on 7/30.

I'm leading easy trad, up to 7. I really enjoy TRing single pitches of 9-11a --- low commitment/high fun ratio.

Anyone want a partner for Skywalker on July 31? I could probably lead the easier pitches if you can do the harder ones. I will be in town prior to this date getting use to the climbing style, that is why I say "probably". If it's faster not to swap leads I can just second. I need to hear back by this Wednesday night in case I need to make alternate plans for the 31st. Cheers.

Hi Girls!!

I (Minke, Dutch, 23) am about to finish an internship in Edmonton and am dying to see some of BC's rocks! I will arrive in Vancouver on the 18th of june and will fly out to Montreal on the 26th... Within that time it would be great to give my tingling fingers some rocks to hold on to. I am comfortable leading 5.9, although I might want to step to 5.10's soon..
Please let me know if you're interested in climbing together: minkegoes(at)gmail.com

Looking forward to my time in BC!
Minke

Readers of this post may find this article, Jugs on Jugs by Gaelen Engler familiar and slightly humorous. It's about her struggle to find female climbing partners.

The essay starts out with this scene in Squamish:

Pulling into The Chief campground in Squamish for my first time, I had to double-check the sign to make sure my boyfriend and I hadn’t driven into the training ground for a traveling circus. Uncoordinated, poutin-hungry tourists from China and Montreal were being given slackline lessons through the middle of camp. It was not uncommon to see a unicycle zoom through, and there were enough dogs running around that one had to assume their ringleader was close by.

The Chief campground quickly became known as gypsy camp, and it wasn’t long until the two of us were cooking up tofu and brussel sprout dishes with the best of ‘em. Looking around each day, though, I wondered why the numerous, crowded picnic tables were void of females, young or old. And despite gypsy camp feeling like home after two weeks, there wasn’t a day that went by when the shirtless, chalk-smeared guys just didn’t quite do it for me.
