Left the Yamnuska parking lot at roughly 8am. Met Barry Blanchard in the parking lot! Leisurely walk up to the climb. A bit of scrambling over loose rock, then on to the first pitch. We set up with 2 60m ropes, the leader belaying each second on separate strands with a locking BD guide device. Unfortunately, on pitch 2, an interesting chimney, one of the party fell sick just below the belay (barfed). It was decided we should retreat then rather than proceed upwards with a high liklihood of many more rappels after a retreat from higher on the route. Went for beer at Moose McGuire's instead.
