Squamish

(WA Trip Part 1)

One of the first things on the list during our Washington excursion was some quality granite climbing in Squamish (Skwxwu7mesh, in the native language). Nate, Krista and I drove up for a couple of days and met BJ up there as well. Great times with good friends. I led a few nice routes that I had climbed before. Nate led an awesome route called Crime of the Century (5.11c). On our last day, Nate and I climbed Rock On (5 pitches, 5.10a), which was spectacular. Squamish is absolutely amazing; the best rock I have ever climbed on.
