Squamish is awesome !! Got some practice climbing cracks, got some practice climbing friction, took Ann up her first long multi-pitch climb -- Diedre -- and had an awesome day doing a link-up of five routes on the Apron and Squamish Buttress with Dan Florescu, a friend from Vancouver. Twenty pitches in eight hours -- that's fast, and I even got to lead a good number of them.
