Squamish: Day two

Sunshine in Squamish! Two days in a row? We've got some crazy luck going, and the forecast for tomorrow? Bluebird! Not bad, considering we barely made it across the border with Hunter's passport. "Osama Brown Ladin" may be his new nick name, as his passport photo caused quite the string of questions, and my cheek still hasn't healed from biting down to keep myself from laughing. As soon as we find a scanner, we'll show you. The guard just kept asking questions and looking back at Hunter's photo - and I just kept trying not to laugh. I thought we were going to get searched for sure.

Today, we started out by the Klahanie Crack - super classic, and beautiful. A couple of people were on it, so while waiting, we decided to cruise up Local Boys Do Good, a famous slab climb that happens to be fairly runout. If you don't do climber lingo, slab means that there are no holds AT ALL and runout means that if you fall, you are going to fall really really really far...

Me belaying Hunter...never have I seen someone climb
so much between clips.

Me happy to have Hunter safe on the ground.

I barely made it up on top rope. So much fun!Yep.

We let the good people who were climbing on the Klahanie hop on our rope to give Local Boys a go, hung out and talked for a bit. Mostly we apologized for Palin and got stoked on more climbing. The we all climbed the most perfect crack in all of Squamish. Yes sir, 100 feet of perfect hands! Unreal, if you like that sort of thing...crack climbing does kind of hurt though.

After that, it was more quality climbing. We are catching up with the blog now at Starbucks (even in Canada, Eh!) and just chillin'. So tired - but so satisfied. We have a crash pad and tomorrow we are going to head out to do some bouldering and some sport climbing down the road at Cheakamus. Squamish is so very worth checking out. It has been such a quality and friendly area.Peace.
