I just picked up the latest issue of Alpinist and Squamish gets the cover with an excellent shot by Paul Bride of Jen Olson and Jasmin Canton on the Calling 5.12a.

The inside spread by Sonnie Trotter attempts to explain the mystery and allure of the Chief's North Walls. There's more great photos inside that capture the wide cracks and steep walls of the north side including Sonnie on Alaska Highway, Will Stanhope on High Plains Drifter and The Inseam and this photo of John Furneaux on Public Image.

That's not all for Squamish and Canadian talent. Will Stanhope pens a great story about climbing Southern Belle (V 5.12R) on the South Face of Half Dome with Alex Honnold. There's also a classic Tami Knight cartoon and a short piece by her about what draws her to the mountains. And for a story that hits you hard read Barry Blanchard's article: Sanctum.
