Old Trip |
| This is the sign up and organization page for an old trip. It already happened. Please do not sign up for it. |
Introduction
Skaha is a rock climbing area located near Penticton, BC, in the Okanagan Valley. It is generally pretty dry, making it a common destination for times of the year when Squamish is a little soggy. The VOC usually runs a trip there around Halloween. Skaha has climbs at all levels, in both the traditional and sport styles. There is also top-roping possibilities for beginners who know how to set up top-rope anchors. Absolute beginners should go to longhike before, and go with a group that knows how to set up safe top-rope anchors.
Date
October 25th - 26th, 2008
- Note: likely with some people coming a day early and some leaving a day late.
Pre-trip meeting
Tuesday October 21st 6:30pm, clubroom
Come to get/offer a ride and organize tent/stove sharing. This meeting is optional, if you already have everything set up, you don't have to come.
Camping
We'll be staying at the Lost Moose. There will be no water, so we'll all have to bring our own. They were also pretty clear that if we parked on plants, camped off tent sites, or didn't leave the place clean, etc., that we wouldn't be coming back. It will be CAD$100 per night divided by the number of people who end up going.
Food
We typically celebrate Halloween in style and have a potluck dinner on Saturday night. Otherwise take care of your own food or organize something within your car group. Penticton has lots of grocery stores so don't worry if you forget something.
What to bring
As with most trips you should have an adequate sleeping bag, tent, means to cook (i.e. stove or someone to share with), food, and appropriate clothing. If you don't have a tent try to find one within your car group to share. If you don't have a stove, bring something delicious to bribe someone and they'll let you share. You should all own sleeping bags by now - c'mon this is an outdoor club. Don't forget to have something for the Saturday night potluck dinner. Mmmm I can't wait. At this time of the year, Penticton is pretty chilly with daytime temperatures averaging in the low-teens and night-time often dropping below 273 Kelvin (also known as 0˚C, for all the non-nerds out there). Keep this in mind when packing clothing. A guidebook would be very useful, so try and scrounge one before coming. If not, a photographic memory will suffice. Also don't forget your Halloween costume for our potluck Halloween party! (Note: "Rock Climber" is not a very original costume)
If you have them, bring tire chains for your vehicle. Last year the highway was a skating rink.
Trip Sign Up
