Watch Sonnie Trotter Solo Squamish 5.12 and Send 5.13R

Cedar Wright filmed Captain Canada a decade ago on the west coast

Sonnie Trotter is one of Canada’s most accomplished rock climbers and a few years ago Cedar Wright caught him on some hard Squamish routes. Read Wright’s flattering write-up below.

“Sonnie Trotter is one of the most handsome men in Canada, and has climbed A LOT of 5.14 trad. He’s put up first ascents on El Cap. He’s a proud dad. And… Sidekick Alex Honnold gets starry eyed when he talks about him.

“Please enjoy Captain Canada, a fun little bio I shot on Sonnie for Black Diamond when I was up in Squamish climbing some 10 years ago. It features him soloing a 5.12 crack, Final Cut, and a dicey 5.13R called Lake of Fire with no warm-up.”
