Colin was the guide that Tom recommended as a friend and mentor so we lucked out. I got lost trying to find the Starbucks because there were two and I hadn&#8217;t noticed the one right across the street from the hostel. Found it eventually&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>After a short drive to Murin Park we walked a short approach to the Sugar Loaf. Colin set up a rope so he could jumar along side while Zak and I simulated a multipitch trad climb. We set up at the base of Magnet, a 5.4 trad and Zak belayed me to the 1\/2 way point. I built a trad anchor and then belayed Zak up using an atc guide.<\/p>\n<p>Then Zak lead the 2nd half and built his anchor at the top. He belayed me up and I cleaned and then we rapped down&#8211;successfully completing our first ever trad climb&#8211;and a multipitch at that!<br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/macblaze.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/img_0140.jpg' alt='img_0140.jpg' \/><\/p>\n<p>We called it a day and headed to Shannon Falls for a bit and then ran into Colin again at the gear shop where I picked up a few cams, runners and biners.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img src='http:\/\/macblaze.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/img_0143.jpg' alt='img_0143.jpg' \/><br \/>\n<em>Hanging and hiking at Shannon falls<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img src='http:\/\/macblaze.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/img_0147.jpg' alt='img_0147.jpg' \/><br \/>\nAfter that we headed out to explore some more and eventually found the spit that all the kiteboarders worked off of. It&#8217;s a pretty cool place and Squamish is supposed to have some of the best windsurfing adn kiteboarding in the world.<\/p>\n<p>That night Zak and I opted for some more male bonding and watched the 40 year old Virgin.
