Watch Climbers Tackle Boulders in Squamish

Three friends going on a three week trip in the famous forest of Squamish.

Unfortunately, they had to leave after two weeks because of rain, but they still had a lot of fun and did send a few lines.

“In a short trip like this, you go through many emotions in a short timeframe,” wrote Mathieu Elie. “Robin fell a the end of his summer project the day before leaving. On his last day, he couldn’t do the first move of a 35 move problem.

“Gab got excited over quick sends at the beginning, only to realize he would have to project the harder lines. JB got agonizingly close to do The Egg, but we had to go early. I fell at the end of The Reckoning and didn’t have time to go back. It was amazing.”
