Squamish trip ideas 4-Jul-2017 At 3:52:19 PM Vwills

Have been to Squamish once in August in 2014. It was hot (. 36 degrees) and really crowded. We have just been back in June this year and I liked it a lot better, and despite reservations, may well end up back there in August.
Getting up early, or going to places like Murrin Park with afternoon shade options are strategies to consider. This recent trip we had great fun on the Papoose and Malamute.
Smoke bluffs is good if the weather is iffy, but again gets very crowded.
I may just suck at slabs and cracks, and have been sick and jet lagged both times I have been to Squamish, but I happily climb 11d/ 12a at Skaha ( or Araps) and found some 10a climbs very stout at Squamish. 5.9 slabs there are about as much as I can handle.
