High on Krack

We spent the weekend in Squamish, B.C. which was just perfect and wonderful. The weather was warm but rainy the first day. We found a nice crag that had a high overhanging cliffs that left the walls dry enough to get in a day of some spectacular routes.

At the end of the day, everyone left for bouldering at the Chief, and Mac and I did a two pitch climb. That was a high point for me and climbing. I did my first multipitch, and it included a short bit of crack climbing. I hadn't done that yet.

Day two was just as spectacular. We found a handful of slab climbs and put a young climber on his first lead. He did just fine, though he had to overcome a bit of nervousness. In the afternoon, Mac took Sara and I over to a 5.10a five star classic crack climb called "The Zip". He lead the climb and put up a top rope for Sara and me. Crack climbing is addictive, and super exhilarating. I can hardly wait to do it again.
