On August 4th we lost an amazing man. A celebration of life will be held to honour him on September 21st in the Squamish downtown Pavilion Park. Please join us in an evening of sharing and celebrating all the joy that Ken brought into our world. Event details to be updated.

A wrap up of the controversy regarding Adam Ondra in Japan this month.
Great video for those equipping routes with Maillons.
We are pleased to announce that local climber Juan Fercovic has made an ascent of Captain America (14b) on The Big Show in Chek Canyon, Squamish, BC. This was Juan’s hardest climb to date and he had been working on the rig for the past two years. Congratulations Juan!
Special thanks to Trent Hoover who has put out to topos for the Frank Slide Bouldering area in Alberta, BC. Topo areas include the Heart Sector and Frinctionary Sector.

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.
We are very psyched for climber and photographer Tara Kerzhner who won the Arc’teryx Squamish Exposed Event for the second year in a row. If you missed the action, here is Tara’s highlight reel!
Thanks to the hard work of Chris Small, there is once again another area in Murrin Park. Splitzville is located in Murrin Park approx. about 20 minutes up the Petgill Lake Trail from the Murrin Park parking lot. The crag is mostly splitter cracks (hence the name) and boasts some pretty great rock.
