Cheakamus Canyon

Last Sunday we took a day off from the mission of van hunting and climbed at Cheakamus Canyon – on the highway to Whistler. There’s nothing like the feeling of turning up at new crag for the first time: sampling the style of the climbing, the type of holds and the texture of the rock – sussing out potential onsights and feeling like a kid in a candy store. Pictured is Magda Kosior on a classic 5.11c on the Toxic Lichen wall, and below Michael JP Hall on the tricky 12c Fleeing Heifer. Check out the set on Flickr here.
