Squamish Climbing Frenzy

With four days of vacation and perfect forecast to the north we decided to head up to Squamish with the goal of climbing as much as we could. We drove as far as the border and spent the night at the last rest area on grass hidden behind trees. Noisy but nice otherwise. On Thursday we made the short trip to Squamish hoping to find a spot in the Chief campground. Of course it was full so we opted to stay at Klahanie campground, pricey but with showers, tables and somewhat private camp sites it was worth the extra money. We scored a site (108) with the best view just to be moved to another one the next day due to existing reservations...
Anxious to start climbing we dashed for Squaw to climb Birds of Prey. But by the time we got to the base there were multiple parties on route and waiting, so went over to Jungle Warfare (5.10a)
