We are excited to announce that Andrew Funk has made an ascent of Squaminator (v12), marking his first of the grade. Andrew made quick work of this powerful line having spent only one other day on the problem. “(I) had to fight so much harder on this thing than any other climb I’ve ever done,” said Andrew about Squaminator, “this was a big jump for me! Very stoked to have put this down.”
Not yet ready to call it a day, he went on to send The Perfect Cave (v11), The Serpent (v10) and The Reckoning Stand (v10). “This is the best climbing day of my life,” said Andrew after finishing his day, “I’m a happy boy.”

Andrew is BC’s 2018 Bouldering Provincial Open Champion and is no stranger to real rock, with previous sends of v11 and 5.14a.
Congrats Andrew!
