Huge shout out to Canadian Tire for the setting tools hookup. Our old setup literally went up in smoke last year! Canadian Tire is a huge community supporter and have been since the beginning! Love having stores like this in our community.

A wonderful trip to Mt Elsey with some club members.

For a couple of them, their first time backcountry hiking and backcountry camping! 😍

If this is something you've always wanted to try, but don't have the gear or the friends with experience, send us a dm! The club and its members organize group trips occasionally, just for this purpose 😊

Follow if you love the Cariboo mountains!!!

Hey WLCA Members, the Summer Solstice is coming up!
--------> https://wlclimbing.wordpress.com/trips-events/

And with that comes beauuuutiful long evenings for climbing, followed by gorgeous sunset and then star gazing at night. What better way is there to celebrate!

We will get together over the course of Saturday and Sunday for climbing, eating, sunsets and star gazing - all in good WLCA and friends' company.

The main gathering will be Saturday evening dinner together (hopefully over a small campfire, permitting the category 1 ban isn't on), and camping that night. Climbing as a group intended for Sat afternoon/evening, and Sunday morning - but obviously people can start earlier or go later as they like.

As always, please bring your gear to be self sufficient. If you need to borrow club climbing gear, or need to carpool, please email/message in advance to request availability.

***If you are bringing food and/or camping, please be bear-aware and pack out everything you pack in; we don't want to attract rats/cougars/bears/pest animals to the area. Our club is big on LNT (leave no trace), and we want to leave our beautiful Esler Bluffs area better than we found it.

PS: If you are keen on doing any trail maintenance in the area, this is also a great weekend for it! Bring a rake and garden gloves and let us know the area you are keen to spiff up. Those putting in trail maintenance hours will be entered in a draw for a delicious prize...stay tuned for more!
