Gordon McArthur–I love to Climb

Squamish, BC
My initial thoughts of climbing in squamish were super psyched...until I got there and realized how not in shape i was for granite climbing. Being so used to quartz and limestone, granite and me didn't play well together off the bat. However after a few days of trust issues (with my feet), things started to come together. It wasn't a "crushing and sending" trip, however I did manage to get on a few cool routes (at the Pet. wall, and up by the big show) and was able to send a few boulder problems. Climbing in Squamish is an experience everyone should indulge in for mental and physical sake. To be a strong climber, you need to be able to climb on everything. It's hard and it takes time, but well worth the swet and blood.
