In 1977 British mountaineering icons Doug Scott and Chris Bonnington made the first ascent of The Ogre in the Karakoram. Their descent from the summit in the dark became an epic after Scott sustained two broken legs and Bonnington broken ribs.
For the first time in Canada, Scott will recount the dramatic story that has since entered into mountaineering folklore.

Local News ‘Vikki Weldon sends ‘Spirit of the West (5.14a)’
We are very psyched to announce that Vikki Weldon has sent Tom Wright’s Spirit of the West (5.14a) at Paradise Valley, Squamish, BC. After working the route for three seasons, Vikki Weldon made the ascent yesterday after trying the route on and off this season.
The route itself is notoriously difficult and for some reason has some of the finicky conditions in Squamish which played a significant role in how long it took for Vikki to put this one down. Congratulations Vikki! Inspiring send to say the least!
