Squamish: 10 Days!





Tyler on Viper

Squamish was fun, really fun. It had it's up and downs but both David and I managed a lot of new sends. It was a surprise to see Micah as well. He crushed for being out so long and I can't wait to climb with him next summer.

Rosario Beach



ROADSIDE!

Small but packs a punch. Rosario Beach is by far the best little crag I've been to yet. Roadside with bathrooms and water and swimming all right there! Dom, Micah, Lisa, Kevin and I had a blast trying the routes and interpreting the bolt lines. The routes feature mainly sidepulls and pinches which I enjoyed. After the warm up we got to work on sissy boy 12d and Dom managed a second go send and later I followed with a flash. It's a good route consisting of two boulder problems separated by a bad rest. Lisa and Micah came really close to sending and will no doubt come back and send. Kevin was destroyed from Infinite Bliss but made some good links as well. Towards the end of the day I got on the 13b and can't wait to come back and finish it off. Rosario is a sweet little secret spot that stays shady all day!

The rock was sharp, finished the climb to get draws back. Only a tiny scratch but lots of blood!
