New Topo for the Forgotten Boulders – North Walls – Stawamus Chief | Development News
Special thanks to Steve Wiens who has sent us a topo of the Forgotten Boulders in the Stawamus Chief Provincial Park.
The Forgotten Boulders began to be uncovered in January 2019. It’s unknown if any of these were
climbed in the past as the moss in Squamish grows back at crazy rates. If any of these have been
climbed in the past please let me know and I can give you the credit.
The boulders are divided up into 3 sectors. Each sector holds some fun lines so please check out each
zone and enjoy.
