	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 have gone to Son of Rock before, and go with a group that knows how to set up safe top-rope anchors.

Date

May 15^th - 17^th, 2009

• Note: likely with some people coming a day early and some leaving a day late.

Pre-trip meeting

Tentatively on Tuesday May 12, if needed

Camping

See the trips message board for ideas on where to stay.

Food

Skaha is practically in Penticton, and there's lots of grocery stores close by (assuming you have a car).

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. Bivouacking is certainly possible this time of the year. 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. A guidebook would be very useful, so try and scrounge one before coming. If not, a photographic memory will suffice.

Cars

If you have space in your car, please post the spots. Passengers pay for gas. If you have a rope and/or rack, please indicate so that we can try and even out people with gear into cars with less gear.
Note: Passengers, contact your drivers a few days in advance to determine meeting locations/times. Contact info can be found on Member List. The onus is not on drivers to track down all their passengers.
