Rock climbing at Marble Canyon on the weekend

Desperately wanting to escape the weather of Whistler, we headed to one of the driest regions of BC for some Limestone multi-pitch rock climbing. We left at 7pm on Saturday evening. The grandparents were minding Munchy for the weekend...we were free! The campsite at Marble is nestled next to spectacular Pavilion Lake. Certainly a great place to visit even if not planning on heading up the towering slabs. All is perfect until you actually get on the rock. It's an absolute rubble fest! Little gravel bullets every where. Each pitch covered in a layer of crusty dirt! Gross!
We suffered up each pitch hoping it would get better. Dreaming!   Oh well..at least we got away for an adventure. We hastily drove back home so we could spend time with Munchy that evening before she went to bed. We were greeted with extreme excitement and her first steps into toddler life! Yes! She walked into my arms for the first time. It was an awesome day after all.
