Trip Description

1 day ascent of Bastardo alpine rock climb out of Brandywine meadows. 
Will include planning, approach hike, roped climbing, summit, and descending, likely rappelling.
potential objectives are:
'Bastardo' (12 pitch 5.8+ climb) in the Brandywine meadows area.

Plan is to meet early - be on the route early - and off safely before sunset.
Sunrise will be 6:56 am and Sunset will be 7:17 pm.
Plan to meet at Squamish Visitor Center parking lot. 

update: Bastardo, we'll climb closely together as 2 parties of 2, and team up for the rappells.
(there is a way to walk off that apparently has a 4th class down climb involved as well.) 
so as a team we'll have 2 x 60 meter ropes, alpine draws, some back up gear, route descripiton.
 
Team members should bring the usual: 
Day pack, 10 essentials (especially head lamp), water, warm jacket, harness, helmet, rock shoes, belay device, 2 locking carabiners and a Personal Anchor System if you have one. 
I'd suggest 1 first aid kit for each party of 2.  
I'll have an In Reach Mini 3 - and Chris MacEachern at 604-812-5903 is an emergency contact. 
for squamish search and rescue, we'd call 911.
