Hi there. Could anyone tell me if climbing in Squamish in May is usually ok weather wise?

Squamish climbing in May can be a bit of gamble. There are years when we get a decent amount of sun and good weather days, there are other years when it can rain for much of the month. The other issue is many of the routes have areas of dampness and seepage that often doesn't dry out until later in the summer. On the other hand there are some areas that will dry quickly after a rain. If you are planning a trip from afar I would suggest the best bet is July and August. If you are close by, check the forecast and you might get a good window.

Hope that helps
