Port alberni area?

in Climbing Partners by gabbyskier Mon, 13 May 2013 15:33:09 -0700

Hey, like a few more post on here, I just moved to the area,

I used to climb a lot when living in Canmore, but have slowed down quite a bit

I've got a set of draws, half a rack (pretty old style i'd say), a 9 mm i think 60m rope, I'm sure i could lead 5.9 sports still but not much more. 

Anyway I was reading on here, looks like there's a nice crag around Comox lake, and boulders on the way to Tofino, im sure there's more

My name is Gabby, I have a crazily random schedule working for bcamb, but i'm keen whenever im off, and have a vehicle!

Looking for Squamish moderate trad partners

in Climbing Partners by cosine79 Sun, 05 May 2013 06:31:31 -0700

Hello,

I'm a Squamish resident who has been out of the climbing scene for over a year and a half.  Looking to get back into trad, sport, and TR starting at the end of May and continuing on from there.  When I left I could lead 5.9 multi-pitch trad and follow in the low 5.10s (bunch of a's and one b).  I'm a safe climber and my schedule will be pretty open over the summer; weekend and weekday climbing are both possibilities.  I have a 70m Alpine rope and big trad rack with plenty of draws.  Since I've been out of the game for a while, I'm looking to start of on some easier Smoke Bluff climbs just to get my legs back under me.  But I hope to be back on the harder leads and the Apron ASAP.  I'm 6'1" and about 200 pounds, I can be reached at corysine@yahoo.ca or 604-849-0984 (Squamish number).  Send me an e-mail or give me a call if you're interested in hitting the rocks and we'll figure something out.  Cheers!

Cory

Similkameen Granite

in New Routes by bremnerlance Wed, 01 May 2013 09:40:16 -0700

This area has high potential and some old and new established routes in 2 areas, and 3 others, with predominately southerly exposures, 1 hr drive from Skaha.  A dry Squamish feel to alot of it, there is also some very unique other qualities of granite, some of which has a hard Redrocks like patina.  Out of hand bouldering as well, mostly undiscovered.....  exceeds Old Hedley Rd rocks.

How do we get this into this rad site?

Looking for help to send Gorka climbing with you

in General Talk by felipe ruiz ruiz Fri, 12 Apr 2013 00:55:31 -0700

Looking for help to send Gorka(my son) to enjoy sport/rock climbing with you.
I contact all of you lookingfor help and I would like to explain you my interest to send my son to CANADA for some time to discover by himself new culture, shearing experiences with other people abroad, learning English and growing up as a climber. I think CANADA will offer him a great opportunity.
I contact you from Bilbao andindustrial city sited in the North of Spain, were the practice of rock climbing it´s very popular, my son 16th years old enjoys this sport training 3 / 4 days a week with enough experience inside and outside practice.
We contact you as climbers with full acknowledge so it will be easier for you to understand that I would like to send my son to practice/training rockclimbing with experience people and learn some English (just sharing experiences with other people abroad, making good friends keeping a nicerelationship).
Gorka as lot of climbers enjoy practice of some sports, rock climb, mountain bike, surf or climb the mountains. We are living in and area in the north of Spain were most people useto go to climb mountains.
Born on May 14Th, 1997 - 15/16years old). Today’s graduation, 7a, 7b, 7b+ (5.12a, 5.12b, 5.12c) improving. Due to the fact the he is an sport young boy, participating in official competitions in our local Area and in Spain
Gorka does not speak English beyond the grammatical he could learn on the school, he works hard to get good results and enjoys climbing a lot.
My wife and Iwe consider that if we could find a place for him to stay in for 2/3 months insummer (July/August) climbing with other boys with no effort he will learn English meantime he improve climbing skills.
This is not a standardproposal but at least, as a father I would like to try the best.
Do you think it could be possible to findsomething similar for him?
Probably the best possibility would be to find a family of climbers with a boyof similar age or even older, it´s too difficult.
Thank you very much for you interest and good help.
As you are in contact with other climbers in your area may be you could recommend me something.
I do not know whether you could help us but please, in case you could, do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your good help
Best Regards
Felipe Ruiz Ruiz

Indeed, there is someone out there.  I just got back from a climbing trip and want to keep the momentum up but waking up to the rain makes it a little tough!  Im leading 5.9+ and starting slowly on the 10's but can follow up to 5.10d when Im in shape.  Id like to learn to place gear this summer and really enjoy doing multipitch but all said and done I just like to get out there regardless of if its a scramble or a classic!  Im also available afterwork on week days and on most weekends.
