		<title>Success in Squamish BC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent most of last year focused on trad, but when presented with the opportunity for a weekend of bouldering I decided to take it &#8211; and I really surprised myself! Friday night I met up with people at Gibbs Cave V8 and without warming up gave it a couple of shots.  It seemed hard, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Climbing at Romper Room Indoor Rock Climbing Center</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Grant and I went up to Nanaimo on Sunday to check out the lead climbing at the Romper Room.  I had bouldered there a few times including at Tour de Bloc, but never had a chance to get on lead. Living in Victoria, there isn&#8217;t a lot of opportunity to lead indoors.  The Boulders climbing [...]]]></description>

		<title>CCH Black Alien</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My Black Alien Cam from Colorado Custom Hardware has finally arrived! A few weeks back I bought the 0 and 00 C3&#8242;s from Black Diamond both because they were on sale and because I was starting to think I was never going to get my Alien. The C3&#8242;s are good and have their place, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Gear: More CCH Aliens</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With CCH being really slow on filling orders lately, I was just itching to get my hands on some more small Aliens to fill out my rack.  Someone told me that Valhalla Pure in Langford still had a few so I went to check it out and now I have 3 more Aliens! My new [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brief stop at Lake Louise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had planned to stop at Lake Louise on the way to Alberta and Grassi Lakes in Canmore on the way back, but the weather pretty much killed all plans. We did stop at Lake Louise on the way there.  It was sunny, warm, and beautiful out&#8230; time to climb!  We got around the backside [...]]]></description>

Day 1 &#8211; Saturday June 27, 2009 I spent most of the weekend in the Smoke Bluffs.  On Saturday we started at Octopus&#8217; Garden and I knocked off Octopus&#8217; Garden (of course), [...]]]></description>

		<title>First time climbing at Horne Lake, Amphitheatre</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had heard all the hype about Horne Lake and how it is THE place to go on Vancouver Island for hard and steep sport routes.   I was training at the gym 4-5 days a week and feeling strong after recovering from a shoulder injury a few months prior so I figured I better get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just another climbing blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why not right? This will act as more of a journal for myself than anything else.  I don&#8217;t have the best of memories for remembering what I have and haven&#8217;t done in different climbing areas. I&#8217;ll probably build some sort of tick list app at some point and integrate it in this site. Until then [...]]]></description>
