There has been a lot of news over the past few weeks, as fall temperatures return to Squamish and the rain stays away!
First and foremost, visiting climber Paul Nadler made an ascent of I shot the Sheriff (v13) in the North Walls, sending on the same day as Nalle hukkataival and Andy Lamb. Nalle also made the first ascent of the A Frame project in the Apron boulders the same day (more details to come!)

In sport climbing news, Mike Foley made an ascent of Spirt of the West (5.14a) in Paradise Valley after only a handful of attempts. Local climber Tosh Sherkat made an ascent of Division Bell (5.13d) on Thursday, marking his first of the grade. Tosh climbed the route on his third try, making it look pretty easy. Miles Adamson also made an ascent of Division Bell earlier in the week.
Looks like Marc Bourguignon has been having a great summer with a recent ascent of The Method (v12) in the Apron boulders, marking his first of the grade. He also completed The Perfect Cave (v11) during August.
Eric Hughes completed his last project at The Monastery (5.13b or c) last week and it has already garnished two ascents by both Remy Laroque and Tom Wright.
Finally Gabriel Moch has sent Black Magic (v13) at Gibb’s Cave! A muerte Gab!
