Dates: June 25 – July 9
General Information: “ The Yosemite of British Columbia. An area of numerous granite crags and walls up to 1,800 ft with varied climbing and spectacular scenery. The chief is composed of the Grand Wall North and South, Tantalus Wall, and the Apron, which are all major eye-openers. The Apron sees most continuous use with airy friction climbs. Long routes on the Squaw, the Zodiac Wall, the mighty Freewall, and new climbs on the Backside of the Chief at the Solarium and Above and Beyond. Petrifying Wall is a popular sport crag. Malamute and Smoke Bluffs are other fun short crags. The Cacodemon Boulders, below the Grand Wall, now hold the hardest free climbs in Squamish” (Rock ‘n’ Road)
Decision:El Portrero, Yosemite and the last, but not the least, Squamish. Squamish is one of the three places that made me come on this trip. Big walls, sport routes and bouldering all in one place and in Canada, what more could one ask for. Ahhh… I know… it would be nice to live there… and I guess I will… who woulda thunk it.
