It was only 4 or 5 blog posts ago when I wrote about my trip to Europe. A lot of great things happened. I saw France, Italy and Spain. Great memories with people I love. However, some really shitty things happened too. Well really just one bad thing – our car got broken into and a bunch of my stuff was stolen. Taken from me was my Macbook Pro. I had bought it used just a few months previous. It was my first Apple computer and I loved it. With it I felt inspired to write, to edit photos and make movies. But after it was gone I kind of lost the feeling of freedom to contribute to my blog. But things have hopefully changed because this post is being written using a new purchase. It was expensive, it was a tough decision, it was a long wait, but now it’s my new Macbook Pro.
So with this announcement I present a few photos I took in Squamish a few weeks ago. May was a good month. I got in two easy multi-pitches on the Apron, sport climbed in Chek, and bouldered at the North Walls. I climbed at least 5 problems I had never done before. Overall a great introduction to Squamish’s climbing season.

Yeah yeah… I know there are only two problems with people doing the exact same move! They just turned out to be the best photos of the day!

Dave, the problem with the girls on it is a V5 called Hog Wild. The other problem is just to the left of Chicken Lips, which is directly across from Hog Wild. This problem as a stand start is about V10, the sit is a project. I’d say the stand variation is a 4 star problem. I heard that Tim Clifford put the problem up, but we never heard what it was called so we dubbed it Darksided. Both of these problems are at The Farm at the North Walls Boulders.
Jamie, which problems are those? They’re not familiar to me.
Matt, we didn’t try the low start. Although on a different day Sean was there with us and he tried it. Looked super hard! Who knows if it will go.
Nice to see you back in the photo takin’ bloggin’ spirit.
I’m back in Vancouver next weekend for the summer and am looking forward to doing some of this.
Later,
Rob
Sick photos! Did you guys try the low start project?
