Little Diamondhead

A great time with friends new and old was had yesterday in the Diamondhead zone logging about 1540m over 18km. A great second day of the season and a very good way to stoke the engine for future missions.

One of my favorite views of my home, Squamish. from the approach.





After 7 laps we didn't leave much left for the next group ;-)

Coastal Things.

Well its been a few months since Erin and I loaded up everything we own into a 25' U Haul and headed west.
Arriving in Squamish, BC not a day later - our new home.
We were treated by an amazing fall weather pattern, we were able to climb, bike and really settle in with this excellent coastal welcoming.
Squamish sees hundreds of mm of rain a winter, sometimes it will rain for 60 days in a row. When the rains come its time for projects. Like a table for Linus as his old man neck is getting sore, now its easier for him to eat and drink off of this little table. Did I mention we have a garage ! ;-)
This ravioli session was spectacular.
The family came from Edmonton and we all piled into a rented house on the Sunshine Coast, was a really great time.
Of course the climbing is spectacular in Squmish, long free routes, short pitches and amazing bouldering is our mainstay and one of the reasons we chose Squamish over anywhere else in BC - The quality is superb.

Just became a card carrying member of the local bouldering co-op. This honest little gym is great, where people come to train. Very little space for sitting and not a place for birthday parties or after school care offerings - just good ol training.


Squamish is treating us very well!
