We are pleased to announce that Jimmy Webb has added his name to the select few who have sent Dreamcatcher (5.14d) in the Grand Wall Boulder, Squamish. BC.

Success!! A couple days ago the cool air rolled through Squamish and I was able to satch up ‘Dreamcatcher’ 9A. I’ve had many goals throughout my climbing but this route has always stood out to me among the rest. Huge props to @chris_sharma for establishing one of the most aesthetic lines you’ll ever see. Sticking the finish jug was most certainly a feeling I will never forget! 🙏 Huge thanks to @kevintakashismith for the sick 📸 .. #lifegoals #travel #success #squamish #love @hippytree @fiveten_official @organicclimbing @metoliusclimbing

A beautiful and scenic crag located above Arrow Lake, Tulip Falls is an amazing place to climb. The rock is made of a rounded type of Gneiss that offers lots of interesting movement and holds and even the elusive ‘Gneiss Tufa’. There is not a lot in the easier grades here but if you climb 5.10d-5.11d then this place is perfect. There is a waterfall, lots of camping nearby and a beautiful beach just below the parking area that also add to the lure of this awesome spot, go check it out

Last week, the District of Squamish released a New Camping Guide for visitors. The document has been met with both positive and negative reactions but nonetheless, it is here to stay. The experience of people living in vehicles, whether for economic or lifestyle reasons, has been a difficult situation for a number of mountain towns as they come to grips with more visitors along with housing and rental prices that seem to divide people on economic lines.
