Revelstoke!

Last night we drove to Revelstoke. Arrived in our usual campsite in Begbie falls in the evening with enough time to collect wood and cook a couple of patties for evening snack. On the way out we had pretty small sandwiches for dinner so the burgers were a welcome intake.
This was our lunch today, our snack last night was the same thing with one less patty

This morning we got up and cooked our breakfast of oatmeal and protein over a fire as well as our lunch. We headed out to Waterworld, a climb that is right outside Revelstoke. We met up with our friends Rauth and Jordan.

We headed over to Voyage wall, the middle wall at the top of Waterworld. The four of us made quick work of the rappel. On this wall there are 4 multi-pitch climbs, Hunter and I had completed Bon Voyage during our trip to Skaha, so we set out to do the other three.

The weather was pretty ideal, with the sun hiding under thing clouds most of the day, with enough making through to keep us at a cool temperature. At lunch we headed back to the cars which were right off the side of the highway. This was less than ideal.




After a day of achieving our goals Jordan and Rauth ate a quick dinner and headed back to Calgary, Hunter and I talked about heading out for Squamish. To get there at a reasonable time we would have to eat on the road. Our plan was to cook spaghetti (our first problem) and eat on the road. Which rushing to get our spaghetti I spilled half of it. To add to my frustration I burned the sauce. What should have taken us ten minutes ended up taking an hour as things just kept going wrong. We ran out of fuel, I ran out of flint for my lighter, dishes were taking longer than expected to clean ect.

Tired and hungry I decided to just eat the meal there. We are going to go back to our campsite tonight and decide when we head out tomorrow. It will be dependent on the weather.
