Wanting a climbing partner that doesn't care that I'm pretty new at this!

in Climbing Partners by marinajm Sat, 08 Jun 2013 18:13:44 -0700

Hello! My name is Marina. I live in East Sooke and am looking for someone to go climbing with.

I don't have a lot of experience. I went to CrageX in Victoria once a week for about 6 months when I first started. At that time I was doing 5'9's and 10's. However, my climbing partner moved away on me and I haven't been since :( That was more than two years ago!

I really want to get back into climbing again but outside instead of at the gym. I have never been climbing outside before, however, and figure it's likely to be very different. If there is anyone out there looking for a climbing partner, and who doesn't mind showing the ropes to a newbie like me, that would be so awesome! Or even another newbie and we can just figure it out together, lol.

Send me an email :) marinajune@hotmail.com

in Where to climb? by bcclimbing Thu, 06 Jun 2013 09:53:54 -0700

There are quite a few easier sport routes in Squamish, but the sport mecca for BC would be Skaha, just outside of Penticton. As an added bonus there are also lots of vineyards and when you're not climbing you can be drinking wine and relaxing in the sun. The drive is around 4 hours from Vancouver. Since you'll be up in Egmont, I would also suggest checking out the climbing around Powell River as well. Once more ferry ride, and some nice local bluffs. Check out http://prclimbing.blogspot.ca/ for some more info on climbing there.

Sorry, I posted before finishing. ....I'm willing to drive a few hrs to get to the crags. I was looking into squamish, but I'm concerned that most of the routes there will be out of my skill range. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello all, 

I was hoping to gather some advice and suggestions for places to climb in BC. I'm planning a trip for mid july to surf the skookumchuck narrows in Egmont, BC but I'd also like to do some climbing. I'm looking for some single pitch sport climbs in the 5.7- 5.9 range. Ill

Powell River Area - Looking for partner

in Climbing Partners by carliejod Mon, 03 Jun 2013 20:45:54 -0700

Hey there!

I'm a new-ish climber from New Brunswick visiting Powell River June 11th-25th and I'm looking for a climbing partner for anytime during those dates! I haven't lead much yet, but I've climbed a bit outdoors and can belay and all that jazz. It'd be sweet to be able to rent some gear out there (I've got nothing of my own, really) and get on some rope, but I'd be happy trying some bouldering, too. I've only bouldered in the gym so far, but I'd love to try it outdoors! Just a matter of finding a crashpad. From what I've seen and read online so far, I think Stillwater is the place for me - a mix of sport and bouldering - but I really don't know!

If you'd like to climb with me, or if you have any info that might help me out, send me a message!

Cheers,

Carlie D.

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!

Thanks for letting us know about the climbing around the Similkameen!

Eventually you'll be able to enter in all the information yourself, but at the moment we don't have thatfunctionality. If you send the information to adminbcclimbing.com I'll add the information to the site. Thanks in advance.  



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?
