Grand Wall Survey

We are so so psyched to announce that Hans Christian Montenegro has sent the problem North Ridge (v14) in Gibb’s cave, Grand Wall Boulders, Squamish, BC.

Over the past few years, Hans has continued to refine his Squamish bouldering style to match his impressive strength indoors. Very psyched to announce his first of the grade! Congratulations Hans!

We are pleased to announce that Finnish climber, Nalle Hukkataival, has completed the Low Start to Room Service.

Nalle came back to Squamish to finish this line and finally found some good temps! Originally completed by Sean McColl, Room Service (v12), starting on the left arete of the Singularity Boulder in Grand Wall Boulders. The line has always looked like it could go from the obvious start to the left of Singularity (v14) and Nalle finally completed the line yesterday. Congratulations Nalle!
