Squamish has been great so far. We were shut down one day due to rain which is pretty good when you understand how moist the climate is up in the North West. After leaving Horne Lake we go into the mountains and it felt SO good. I think I can now say that I am more of a mountain person than an ocean person. It is beautiful here.
RAIN!!!! NOOOOO!!!!!
part of The Chief.
We had a couple of days at Chekamus Canyon. The rock is a tight grain granite/gneiss and climbs REALLY well. Lots of crack holds and edges. It reminds me a lot of Clear Creek Canyon in Colorado, but better….and WAY more.
ALWAYS PSYCHED!!!!!

I hooked up Pulse yesterday which is one of the Staple 14a’s in Canada as far as I am concerned. I did it in a couple tries plus one in the rain the other day which I never made it to the top. GREAT stamina route with consistency. PROPAAA!!!!

Revival....
The motive lately has been do things fast and do ample routes to really enjoy clipping the chains. The pure satisfaction of climbing is felt so easily when you aren’t on a project banging away. Its all about enjoying the areas and getting the experience. After all….it’s something to talk about…its something for conversation. Needless to say…this little Canada trip has been a GREAT time. I don’t want to leave but we will have to soon. I have an event on the 10th of July in Wyoming, which is gonna be DOPE. Peep it HERE!!!!
OH YEAH….Check out Brian Solano’s site…you cop some “Joe Kinder Wallpaper”….Have at it….CLICK HERE.
Stay tuned for more…..
