Squamish: Buisness before Pleasure...

It felt good to be back in Squamish. The land of no holds, body tension, and the heel hook. For 3 days Micah and myself lost a good amount of skin on the cool granitic blocs of Squamish. All in all it was a good trip and a good portion of it was caught on camera for Crunked Climbs 20-10.

Day 1 began with an epic adventure to find camping and we eventually pitched our tents behind a camper and called it good. We started off in the Grand wall boulders so I could finish off the classics Worm World Cave V9, and then Gibs Cave V8. We also spent some time on ATD which we both fired off. Micah had some pretty high ambitions for this trip and I had none. The first two days were rough for him but now he is REALLY psyched on bouldering and it'll be good to see what the new 2010 Micah busts out this fall. The second day we checked out a new area to us, North Walls, and found some cool classics and the place had a very Gold Bar feel and look. We tried some stuff and I managed a send of the classic Squealing Pork V7. Then on our way in to town,to kill some time, we stopped off at the local gear shop and Micah gave in and bought the new guide to the boulders.

The following day was supposed to be ropes but in the end it was another bouldering day. We checked out the sport temple at Chek and it is definitely a cool crag and it has some hard problems. I managed to send the 13a First Blood second go after dogging to the chains. After this Micah couldn't wait any longer so we headed out to the grand wall boulders so he could finish up the V8. After his send we migrated back to the North Walls and he seshed out a V7 and I threw myself at a, very, soft V10 and sent after 15 or so burns.

All in all it was a great trip especially with the rain holding off in the distance the entire time. I'm now psyched on the short stuff but will still hit up chek and then 32 on a regular basis until it is too cold. For now it's back to Squamish, and then a 4-5 day trip to Leavenworth, 32 on Thur back to Leav... Oh yeah, and School...
