Looking down from the Malamute onto Howe Sound
My friend and climbing partner Andy Cairns, who lives in  North Vancouver not far from Squamish,  has been taking me  to some of his favorite routes.
ON the day after we hiked and ran 34 km (about 20 miles)  near Diamondhead, he asked where I&#8217;d like to climb.
&#8220;Something with [...]]]></description>

Looking down on Squamish Chief and the Howe sound
On our hike (jog)  back down from Elfin Lakes and the Gargoyles,  we jogged mostly through dense forest surrounding both sides of the old logging road.
It was 11 km from the parking lot to Elfin Lakes and another  6 km to past the Gargoyles.
One opening in the [...]]]></description>

Elfin Lake, an  11 km hike from the trailhead
June and I had been admiring Diamondhead,  the mountain which greeted my every morning.
&#8220;Before I leave Canada, I&#8217;d like to hike up there,&#8221; I suggested.
I got to have my wish when Andy arrived  to climb. It was June&#8217;s last day at Squamish.
&#8220;Andy, want to hike up Diamondhead [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We had a few days of much cooler temperatures, and one day with sprinkles, but not steady rain.

We hesitated to climb long routes with  clouds   threatening to rain on us, so we headed to the Smoke Bluffs, with its plethora of one-pitch climbs.
Andy lead Power Windows ( and I fell off following it!) - [...]]]></description>

June leading St. Vitus Dance

The crack gets wider the further up we climbed!

Luckily we brought wide cams this time!
A few years ago, one of my first climbs on the Apron, Tristan and I set out to climb Calculus Crack.  We had not looked at the routes carefully from the parking lot, and after a pitch [...]]]></description>

Shouta, from Japan, at the Smoke Bluffs
I arrived in Squamish on  Wednesday evening. Talking to the guy parked next to me, in the parking lot where I was camped my first few nights, I mentioned I was  looking for a climbing partner. Jon told me he was here with a group from Japan, and invited [...]]]></description>

Elephant&#8217;s Perch with Saddleback Lakes in foreground
After we climbed the Mountaineer&#8217;s Route, and a rest day, we headed up to Sideline. This route is basically Astro Elephant, with an easier start that avoids the first two difficult pitches.
Though the description for  Astro Elephant  states that the climb is 5.10-, I&#8217;d been told by three climbers [...]]]></description>

Jon on a 12a  climb at the Smoke Bluffs

Unknown climber on Cold Comfort
Squamish is dryer and hotter than I&#8217;ve ever seen it. I&#8217;ve climbed here twice, and both times it&#8217;s been wet and cold. Now it&#8217;s hot, sunny, and dry every day!
Apparently,  a high pressure  area is over the  south coast of British Columbia.

&#8220;It&#8217;s way too hot to climb there now!&#8221; I heard this morning.
Weather, temperature, and the presence or absence of rain become frequent preoccupations among traveling (or even stay-at-home) climbers.
Here&#8217;s a great site for weather in the United States:
Climbingweather
They don&#8217;t yet post weather outside the United State.
The weather site helps to avoid spring snow showers.

That&#8217;s my [...]]]></description>
