Squamish climbing partner 7-11 Aug

Hi folks,

Revised itinerary posted below; will reply by PM to those who responded.

Experience/goal: I am primarily a sport/alpine climber, but can follow trad with a stronger partner. My grades are low, 5.7-5.9 or thereabouts, but I am a solid belayer, have enjoyed long routes, 20+ pitches in my grade, and have done about a dozen classic alpine/mixed routes in the Alps: hikr.org/user/Niranjan/.

Thanks,
TT

TT,

I will be up there during that time and looking to hit Squamish. Send me a message with you email and we can talk details.

Itinerary: (or shall I say, wish) 10th afternoon: Arrive in Squamish, do some single-pitches, get a feel for the local rock, and familiarize with my partner. 11th: Early start and do a nice multi-pitch, The Chief or any other. 12th: Some more single-pitches before I head back. Gear: I can bring a 60m rope (single or half, depending on need), draws, and a small rack. Experience/goal: I am primarily a sport/alpine climber, but can follow trad with a stronger partner.

Since my climbing experience is limited to Europe and India, I need someone local who can climb safely and show me the local ways. I can't really afford a guided climb and probably wouldn't enjoy it so much; have never done it before. Logistics: I have booked a room with two beds for 10th and 11th at the Mountain Retreat Hotel, feel free to stay with me if you like. I'll cover the costs (stay/food/park fees) if I am with a stronger climber who can lead a nice multi-pitch. Please reply if you'd like to discuss more or have other suggestions/tips to share. Otherwise, thanks for reading so far :) Thanks, TT

HeyTT,

I read your post on squamishclimbing also. You don't need to offer to pay for others food/lodging. Summer time in squamish you should have no problem finding partners. Save your money for yourself.

Shoot me a PM when you get into town and I'll gladly climb with you.

You can head to the Chief campground when you get there and put up a poster looking for a partner. Include a reliable contact method, and you'll have no problems finding someone.

If you buy your leader a beer afterwards they'll be happy as Larry, there's no need to put them up for the night.

How are the conditions with all the fire and smoke? We want to go too but that's kind of holding us back.

Cool, thanks a lot for these responses guys.

This is my updated itinerary, changed my stay to something much closer to the Chief and spending more days at Squamish.

Arriving Squamish on 6th night.
Available to climb all day on 7th and 8th, possibly till Noon on 9th.
Back in Squamish on 10th night, available to climb all day on 11th, and till Noon on 12th.

Will have rope/6 cams, and a set of nuts/slings/draws.

I will be reachable on my phone: (+91) 981 932 7756.

Cheers,
