I guess the idea isn't new. Do you still have the proto-types Jeremy? A cool idea with a very specific use. How well do they work?

Does anybody know if Matt made completed a free ascent of Up from the Skies?

Came across this web climbing video project called The Seasons and I thought I'd share because Episode 6 released last week features Squamish local Matt Maddaloni. The Seasons is a 22 episode web television project that follows five athletes from BC and Washington through a season. Episode 7 profile...

The IOC officially recognizes the International Federation of Sport Climbing.

Does rock climbing belong in the Olympics?
How would Canada do?

Hi rainlax, Welcome to Squamishclimbing.com I'm sure it's not going to take long to feel at home with Squamish and the local climbing scene. People are very friendly and welcoming. Here are some general suggestions for now: - One way to meet climbers is to post on this forum in Find a Partner In Squ...

What climb is that flag on?

Could the flag have been left behind by the same crew that flew a banner on the Grand for Squamish's Maëlle Ricker? The banner was to pay tribute for Maëlle's gold in Snowboard Cross. Way to go Maëlle! Here's a still from the video http://lh6.ggpht.com/_KD3Pjlq3sPE/S4wcGefAn1I/AAAAAAAAAVs/XgKzL58WG6...

Tourism Squamish has posted a series of slick videos on YouTube titled The Spirit of Squamish. The series includes videos on hiking, mountain biking, kite boarding and of course climbing. http://lh5.ggpht.com/_KD3Pjlq3sPE/S43pCZs2e_I/AAAAAAAAAWI/rAsmURqKddA/s800/1.jpg Here is the link for the climbi...

Hi Em, Welcome to Squamish and Squamishclimbing.com. You are probably aware that your trip dates have you here in the off-season. That means the weather is more unpredicatable and can be wet in the Spring. That said, there are people that climb all year and breaks of sunny weather do happen. Also no...

For those who interested in the geology around Squamish, I came across this guide that's just been published on the web. The section on the Chief includes a stop just past the pedestrian overpass, where new road construction has uncovered some incredibly polished and scratched rock http://lh6.ggpht....

I second Jeremy's comment - that is very interesting history Anders. I didn't realize the history at that end of the Chief went so far back. Climbing a new route on the wall in a snow storm in 1966 -- wow. Jeremy, do you have a picture of the route you can post identifying where you found the rope a...

As someone who is following this thread but who has not been up to see the progress on Milk Road or the measures taken to tape off the area it seems to me that there could be some confusion here. Jeremy says he was cleaning on a rainy day and blocked off the area with six signs on the approach trail...

Wanted to let everyone know that the link to the topo for Wire Tap in the topic below has been fixed. This came up after someone made a note of it in the feedback tab on the left side of the page. You can also link to the topo here. Just a note about the crag after re-reading the post. The developer...

Right, thanks for the correction. I drove up to Whistler on Friday and came down Sunday -- have to say the traffic was light both ways. What do people think about the middle lane divider markers? Feels like your driving in a construction zone if you ask me. I thought driving on the rail bed was kind...

Interesting find Jeremy. Where on the chief did you spot it? I know back in the day they used twisted ropes I think Goldline was one them. I can't imagine the one you found is that old but you never know -- any theories? I would be interested to hear from Anders or anybody else who might know of the...

Just wondering if anybody has met some Olympic visitors who also plan on doing some climbing in Squamish (if it dries out). I imagine there will be some people who gaze at the Chief on the way to Whistler and put that on their list to do. I read somewhere that US Alpine Skier, Tommy Ford from Bend, ...
