Kim leading up the Split Pillar on the Grand Wall.

The Grand Wall, up The Chief, from afar. Kev and Aaron on the split pillar.

this picture was taken during a recent trip to squamish it is from the second summit. Hope you like it.

This is a pic of the Tiki God in front of The Chef in Squamish. He was our good luck carm for the trip.

Welcome to Squamish. Now go climb your brains out for the next couple lifetimes.

the 10b traverse just before the split pillar!

At the base of the chief. One of the finest in Squamish. The photo was taken by my old buddy Andreas.

look down at my bro... just about done although an arse kicker of a pitch next, albeit sport clip up at 1000 ft plus!

Ever since I saw Lynn Hill climb this crack in a Petzl video, I've wanted to climb it. This summer I finally got to. I did both pitches in one for an amazing long thin crack pitch.

My brother Perry took this shot of me. It was an onsight but as you can see I do not have the jamming thing down. Nonetheless it is a great climb. The second pitch has got the most awesome fingerlocks.

Here's a pic of Todd Helgeson on Backseat in Squamish, BC. This was taken by Libby Helgeson on my digital. We worked on this problem for two days while we were there over the memorial day weekend this year. What a classic!

Here I am resting above the second pitch on the Grand Wall, Squamish. Howe's Sound and the town is in the background. The views from the ledge are wonderful.

This is me (Adrian) jamming up the climb "Exasperator" 5.10a/c on the Grand Wall in Squamish. The rain had made the rock wet that night, and smearing was difficult. Lucky for me the protection was excellent, and I was able to slot my fingers and shoes into the crack without falling. I led only the 5.10a pitch, and my partner finished up the strenuous 5.10c part.

Here I am on the hanging belay below the Split Pillar on the Grand Wall, Squamish. The exposure is wonderful, and the views breath-taking.

Here's a photo I snapped of my partner, Wolfang, as he rapped down the Grand Wall after we got up the Split Pillar in Squamish.

This is me (Adrian), making the crux move on the 5.9 second pitch of Apron Strings (5.10b). After this mantle onto the ledge, it's clear sailing up a beautiful 5.6 zig-zag crack which leads to the long runout dykes below the steep headwall. It's difficult to see my protection in all that dazzling white light, but you can still see my partner Wolfang enjoying the shade of that tree below me (orange shirt).

This is my climbing partner (Wolfang), on the first pitch of "Apron Strings" (5.10b) in Squamish. I can say that, unlike some of my other pix, this one is quite beautiful (grin). The black and white granite of Squamish is so dazzling that it's second only to the enjoyment of the frictioned climbing. Wolfang finished this pitch, but with some difficulty, as that crack gets mighty thin at the top!

You will find this boulder on the approach to the Grand Wall in Squamish.It must have taken a lot of time and effort to create this and stands as part of Squamish early history.

This is me dealing with the Pig on the way to Uncle Ben's (A2+)The Grand Wall,Squamish.Half the fun is making your way across a series of ledges just to get to the darned thing!!

This is John Lang a.k.a. Full-Time-Climb sorting it all out as we prepare to head up Uncle Ben's(A2+)on The Grand Wall in Squamish,B.C.

Taken from the "Classic Bivy" on Uncle Ben's(A2+, but we climbed it clean), after a nice day of aiding. In the background you can see the Dihedrals, the Bulletheads, the Papoose, Highway 99 and a bit of the Howe Sound. This pic was taken in the August 2

Janet Matthews does a superb job cleaning the long strenuous Split Pillar(10b). This finger to chimney pitch is over 40+ meters and one of the classic pitches on the Grand Wall. photo: Dave Ferguson
