Objectives: Skaha Bluffs is quite a large park with a lot of options for easy, moderate and advanced climbers. It is mostly known as a sport climbing destination, but there are some opportunities for trad climbing as well. We will split into groups each day based on skill levels and what people want to climb.
Requirements: You should have some experience with outdoor climbing and be comfortable leading, lead belaying, setting up anchors and cleaning anchors. You must bring all of your personal rock climbing gear (helmet, harness, shoes, PAS, anchor, etc.) and a good head for safety. Ideally you have a rope, quick draws and are ready to have a lot of fun!
Transportation: We will carpool from the GVA to Pentiction and meetup as a group at the campground. I plan to head up Friday evening after work and head back on Tuesday.
Accommodation: I have booked three campsites at Lost Moose Campground for up to 18 people total. For those of you who've never been there, its a great campground in the hills above Skaha. It's about a 15 minute drive to the park from the camp site. The campground has hot showers, running water and washrooms.
Costs: The campsite costs will be split evenly between all attendees - the exact amount will be calculated once I have paid for the sites, but usually is around $50 per person. Transportation costs should be arranged between each driver and their passengers directly.
Other: Keep an eye on the planning forum closer to the trip for carpooling arrangements and other planning info. Shortly before the event I will also create a Whatsapp group for all attendees to communicate during the event.
