Easy to moderate (5.8-5.11) sport/mixed climbing at Cal-Cheak ***Rescheduled from Saturday to Sunday***
General Trip Plan: This trip is for people with some experience in sport climbing top rope and sport lead. Only a few routes are mixed. Even those are mostly bolted with just a few cams needed for additional protection.
Each pair of climbers should have someone comfortable leading easy to moderate routes. We will decide the walls at Cal-Cheak based on how sunny and hot it is. We expect to spend at least some time at Huckleberry Land and Shelf Road.
Note that rock at Cal-Cheak is well textured and quite crimpy, even on easier routes.
Gear Requirements: All participants must bring their own personal climbing gear... including: harness, belay device, locking biner, climbing shoes, and helmet (no helmet = no climbing). Also highly recommended is a PAS (personal anchor system) for securing yourself, a prussic for safe rappelling, sunscreen, plenty of water and snacks.
Where/When to Meet: We'll meet early at 8:00 am at the St. David's Church parking lot located at Hwy 1 and Taylor Way, in West Vancouver. Our plan will be to head back to Vancouver after the worst part of the weekend traffic.
Please self-organize car pooling to the church via the "Planning Forum" on top-left of this page.

Poor Weather Cancellation: Check the weather forecast for where we're going on the morning of the trip (Environment Canada - weatheroffice.gc.ca). If the forecast is 50% PoP or less then we'll go). Anything above 50% PoP oand the trip is automatically cancelled unless the trip organizer contacts the group to say otherwise. If cancelled, we will likely set up an indoor climbing event instead
