Smoke Bluffs, The Lions and The Sanctuary

I feel like I spent a little too much time on the Sea-to-Sky highway this weekend!

I needed a break Friday and so took the day off and ended up spending the afternoon at the Squamish Smoke Bluffs with Lukas, Megan and Jazzy. We climbed the classic crack Penny Lane and then climbed some featureless slabs… Lukas sent a sweet 5.10c (trad) at Ronin’s Corner. Dinner at The Brew in Squamish and back to Vancouver.

Saturday, I met up with Alex, Jeremy, Nikki and Patrick at the Edge and went up to Squamish again. Dave and Nicole  met us there, which was good as I have not seen them for ages and ages. Jackie and Doug were also climbing there. Dinner at The Shady Tree then back to Vancouver  to my place to watch the Celebration of Light finals (Sweden won… with Abba, yay!) and drink Rum and Cokes with Marc and Catherine.

Up early(ish) Sunday to hike up the Lions (1525m) with Alex, Damon and Leah (and a well wrapped left knee!).  Well at least I drove there in the car with them, but they went (WAY) ahead so I went up on my own.  The trail was stupidly busy but the views were really good.
