Later 2021 and 2022 was a big year for my climbing. I was able to dial down my trad leading at the gunks, getting about 20 days of outdoor rock climbing and about 10 days of ice as well.
I had a great time with James, Miles, Golli, Allen, Andrew, Daniella, Lydia.
We made sport climbing trip out to Thatcher State Park which was good - managed to get some 9s, 10as but failed on the most epic 10a - Mutt.

I also managed to get out ice climbing with Doug (guide) and Ming going up to Chapel Pond and Pitchoff. We did a bunch of top roping at Pitchoff and did Crystal Ice Tower, Chouinards over at Chapel Pond. With Wojtek I also climbed Hillyer Ravine which was in stellar shape.
In Feb/March Alex and I were able to get out for about 2 days to Gore Mountain for some skiing which was great!
Over the summer around June 2022, I was able to go with Alex back to the beautiful PNW and up to Squamish area. We spent a few days with the Yam boys and Juliette doing some climbing and up a route called Slot Machine. Fun stuff. Then headed over to Salt Spring Island and Galiano island for some well needed rest and relaxation.
