We are very psyched to announce that Ben Harnden an Neil Dyer have both sent one of their long-term projects named Channel surfer (No Grade Given). The line has been described as ‘futuristic climbing’ and a true feat for Squamish climbing!

We are very pleased to announce that Emilie Pellerin, after a quick trip to Squamish, has sent the famous Zebra Crack (5.14a) in Val-David, Quebec.

Climbing Magazine recently came out with an article indicating promising research into liquid chalk and COVID-19.

20+ new routes at the University Wall. There are now three main walls: University Wall, Alumni Wall and The Faculty. The Faculty is past the Chockstone, put up by Matt Hendsbee and Adam Mileson put up the routes there. Some of the old projects on the University Wall (bolted by Ross Suchy, Mark Fraser, Craigh Hyslop and Jeff Relf) have now been sent. Along with that, lots of new routes on the main wall as well!
