I hate climbing in 3. But I make exceptions for taking out Oli for his first time outside. Taking him on a 3 pitch trad climb near Pahatsi was quite a treat for his first climb in the outdoors... I was a bit nervous, so we wanted to get an early start and make sure we'd be the first team on the climb.

 |
| Here's the pic of the route... |
 |
| And from the base. |
 |
| And Oli heading up pitch 1. |
 |
| Sam following. He was having a bit more trouble than his son... |
 |
| The view was quite nice. The Nickelsen's westy is behind that tree in the middle. We've got quite a crowd now. |
 |
| Oli finishing up pitch 2. |
 |
| Looking down to the top of pitch 2. |
 |
| And the walk off. |
 |
| We were a bit behind schedule, so we hurried a bit to get down and home... A very nice climb. A true treat taking folks outside the first time. |
 |
| It's coor's time. |
 |
| And we caught up to these ladies who were on their way to the beach at lot 1. |
 |
| And the rest of the day looked like this. |
 |
| Kimbo and Elena out on the SUPs. Elena's first time using their inflatable SUP. |
 |
 |
| Cooked up a nice salmon dinner on our grill that we acquired over the winter. This was our first use... and she worked out great. |
 |
| after dinner, Dylan and I went on a quick ride to the look out... |
 |
| and we passed the bar at Donner Ski Ranch... |
 |
| these guys were rocking out so hard (zepplin, guns n roses, Jimi...) we had to stop and have a beer. Amazing show. |
