For Halloween, we went on a huge Varsity Outdoor Club trip to Penticton to climb at the fantastic Skaha climbing area. Trish opened up her house for the more than 40 guests to stay at. We had an unbelievable time climbing this haven and partying in her log-mansion on the apple orchard.

I also made a movie during the middle of my ascent of The Sagging Bumline. This route is totally exposed, and is 40m long (you have to belay from bolts 10m high while standing on a small ledge). The movie does not due justice to how terrifying and exciting a climb it was for me. I'm about 30m off the ground when I took the movie. See it here.
