Nathaniel Coleman is taking the competition scene by storm and exploring unclimbed areas in the southern deserts of Utah. His fresh drive to push the boundaries of bouldering is what allows him to access the inaccessible. Filmed and edited by Ben Neilson.

Like the clouds parting and a ray of sunshine falling down from the heavens, the Vancouver International Mountain Film is less than two weeks away! The VIMFF will take place from Feb. 9th to 17th, 2018 in Vancouver and North Vancouver, BC .

Each year, the festival continues to renew our psych for adventure in a multitude of mountain disciplines. Here at Squamish Climbing Magazine, we have scanned every film and checked out every speaker looking for what the festival offers in our favourite mountain category, rock climbing. Below is a Climber’s Guide to the 2018 Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival. Be sure to purchase your tickets soon as last years event sold out completely!

Hilarious little parody featuring local climbing Will Stanhope and Matt Segal as they continue the adventures of debauchery together.

We are very psyched to announce that Josh Muller has made a day ascent of The Nest stand start (v13).

Looks like hard work does pay off. After spending most of last year opening up a new bouldering gym (Bolder Climbing) in Calgary, Josh is now on his first bouldering trip since blowing a tendon in Heuco Tanks two years ago. On his second day on the rocks, Josh made an ascent of The Nest Stand Start (v13) only to be shut down by snow later in the day after making good work in the sit start. Congratulations Josh! Lets home this government shutdown doesn’t last too long!
