Video shot in and around Squamish, BC Canada – the Outdoor Recreation Capital of Canada. This video is part of the “Spirit of Squamish” video collection – visit the www.youtube.com YouTube channel to see all the HD videos. Squamish is one of the worlds top rock climbing destinations. This is largely due to the deliciously sticky granite that is found all over town. Most famous of course is the Stawamus Chief, the second largest granite monolith in the world with enough routes to keep anyone busy for years. Here routes range from casual scrambles to 5.14 test pieces. Add this to the countless legendary boulders around town and you literally have a climbing paradise. Its safe to say that if youre just starting out, or have been at it for years; youll find something to satisfy your rock climbing needs.
