Too bad.

I can't wait to get out!

Already went to mission once, but it sucked.

I was running up in squamish today and the weather was pretty darn good. :twisted:

In the sun it was hot, it did sprinkle on the odd occasion but nothing major. On my way past cutting edge it was perfect in the sun and dry.

There were some people out in the apron boulders. :twisted:

The forecast looks good, climbing tomorrow. Ye ha. :D :D

so busy :shock: again up there on a monday. We ran into 1 guy and his dog. HA.

Conditions stayed dry today, with most of our time spent in the apron boulders (cutting edge and You're a mean one :twisted: mr. grinch) as well as out at the clean boulders and then to swamp thing.

All climbs needed a little love(no torches) but no amount of rain was felt that put any deterrent on the day. The wind added a helping hand to dry out the few drops that fell.

Hopefully more sun tomorrow. Yeah ha :D for all this daylight.

it was great :D up in the apron boulders again today. The weather when we left N.V was terrible raining hard. But by the time we were at caufield the weather was bomber blue. And the rest of the drive up it just got better.
I needed sunscreen today I got burnt. OF COURSE.

E I finally got cutting edge. WHat a great climb and dry everday that would be considered questionable. It only needs minutes in the sun and wind and its all dry.

Did a little d.t. on the back of CAC. No ropes :twisted: left up but the holds are still there. YOu just have to lead it now.

:?: A question How much moss is too much to take off when cleaning a problem? There are several boulders in the apron that if they had another day of scrubbing to them they would always be dry as well.(Example: Magic Carpet Ride boulder. :idea: ) DO you need to ask before you scrub more?

i wouldnt bother removing any more moss from well established problems. exercise a little patience and wait a day for things to dry. remeber that it is April after all. come summer time it doesnt take long for most things to dry faster.

Tuesday it was pouring in van but in squamish it hadn't rained. A few morning sprinkles didn't interupt a brisk, but otherwise beautiful climbing day.
