Spent our long Labor Weekend (employer is good enough to give me the Friday off as well) driving up to Skaha - in Penticton, British Columbia. Had a good two days of climbing with crew from Mars Hill Outdoors. Highlights of the weekend included riding to the crags in an RV, camping in tents on gravel, crazy neighbors, and Sunday night dance music. I would love to say this photo was me, but it’s not… Miles thought this was one of the best sport routes he’s ever climbed though.
The drive up alongside the Columbia in Eastern Washington, and then through the Oakanagen in BC was very scenic. Green, fertile, valleys with orchards everywhere contrasted with dry brown hills as a backdrop. I think we’ll be back up that way.
Some photos, mainly of the climbing, here.
