Local News: Filming at Stawamus Chief Wednesday, June 10, 2015
This morning there is a barrage of big trucks at the lower parking lot of the Stawamus Chief. It looks like the whole parking lot has been taken over by a film crew and the ‘old highway’ trail was roped off. The BC Parks website does not indicate any closures or public statements about the filming. According to a few sources, the film crew does not seem to be staying on the paths designated for walking. If you have any more information, please email info@scmagazine.ca
UPDATE: According to a few sources, the film crew is shoot for a movie called “The Shack” and have set up around Easy Chair, Animal Magnetism area, and potentially ATD. It was also reported that one climber who went to the area this morning was told that the area was closed today near the Cacodemon area and turned away.

Interview With Jesse Warren on’ Squamish and Quest’
Jesse Warren arrived in Squamish, BC four years ago at the age of 18. He had just started his first semester at Quest University and was more than excited to be living in a climbing paradise. In his first few years, Jesse and Mike Foley, a relatively well-known climber from Boston, MA, teamed up to make the best out of their Squamish experience. As the years went by, Jesse made big gains in his climbing, including ascents of The Silent Menace (5.14c), Lost Horizons at Little Si(14a/b), THe Shelter (V13), Mandala SDS in Bishop (v13), and Meadow Lark Lemon Stand (v13).
Last month, Jesse graduated from Quest University and has gone back to his hometown of Seattle for the summer (even though I see him around all the time!). Squamish Climbing Magazine had a chance to catch up with Jesse as he reflected on his time here, being a student at Quest, climbing in Squamish, and his future plans. Here is what he had to say.
