We are very pleased to announce that Allison Vest has sent Squaminator (v12) in Squamish, BC. Sending a couple of days ago after only two sessions, Allison seems to be in top form after the competition season this year. She also made quick work of Agoraphobia (v11), Ozzmosis (v11), and The Seam (v10).

There is a lot of confusion as to how climbers will be able to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and how our Canadian athletes will fair. We decided to make it simple by creating a graphic that will explain all the different pathways for qualification and how many athletes will be selected from each pathway.
We are pleased to announce that Graham McGrenere has made an ascent of A-Block (v12) in Squamish, BC.
Graham has been putting in a ton of hours training over the past year and it looks like it is paying off, as he recently sent Room Service (v1) and The Pool (v10). Speaking to Graham, A-Block took him a number of tries over four different sessions. He reported that it was harder than Squaminator but much easier than Room Service.
Elan Jonas McCrae also made an ascent of A-Bock (v12) last week as he revisited Singularity, also making progress on that problem.
