On the last day in Squamish we decieded to Climb a easy multipitch on the Apron. We climbed a 6 pitch 10a, Over the Rainbow. It was a fun climb, but the Apron is a shit show. There are climbers climbing on top of other climbers. Free soloist passing parties and gumbies doing some dangerous stuff. The line though, was fun. The money pitch is the over the rainbow pitch. a peice of gear then pull a lip to 10a slab for 4 bolts. I am, as you know, not a fan of slab. But I am a fan of rock climbing and pushing myself. And hard runout slab is that way. We did not have our small camera so no pictures from the day but it was beautiful. We wound up linking the last two pitches and finished just over three hours. Star said that she thinks that it would have gone faster if she was not prego. It was a nice morning.
I never mentioned but we stayed at a splendid bed and breakfast, Glacier View. The owners, Mike and Beryl and fantastic. They are a sure pleasure to be around. Not to mention the wonderful no frills but very thoughtout breakfasts are sensational. I highly reccomend their BnB to everyone.
We had a great time in Squam and would love to go back, but of course there is Japan first. We leave in a few days and we are sure ready.
Go Climb Something!!!
