I put this in the Misc category because it can't be called sport, two bolts in about 140' is hardly sport. Put it's a part of the wonderful trad line of The Grand Wall....

These is where we camped most of the nights that we were in Squamish last summer. It's an awesome place, that no one ever goes to.

I remember when I first saw a pic of the pillar in the guidebook a friend bought for me while I was still living in Toronto... I swore that one day I'd do it! This is me after doing it - freakin rad!

I found this fake skull at the base of the Grand, thought it was excellent!

Leading the Split Pillar pitch on the Grand Wall. Perfect handjamming almost all the way makes this one of the finest pitches I've ever been on. Photo by Ryan Kurytnik.

This is the rotated version of one of the same pictures that I posted quite recently. This is just another cool perspective of my friend climbing up an amazing line!

Mikey has the belay on and I am getting on route on the Grand Wall in Squamish British Colombia.

This is mikey and I finally on the summit of the Chief after 15 pitches. It was amazing!

This is me with the North Gulley behind me as I get on the last pitch to finish off our 15 pitch haul to the summit of the Chief.

This was when we were passing through Vancouver on the way home from the Grand Wall, The Chief.

Here's the mighty Stawmus Chief as seen from The Upper Malamute on Jul24,2005. There is several people on the wall... can you find them? hint... on group is on the split pilar.

This is one of the most clasic lines to do while in Squamish. It goes at 5.11 A0. This is me on the 5.10b Traverse pitch to the split pillar.

Location: Squamish Chief, B.C Route: Unnamed, A4 Photographer: Hugh MacPherson Description: This was close to our highpoint before bailing off in the dark and trying to find our way in a snowstorm on New Years Eve.

Mac and I on the belay ledge for the split pillar - no idea how that tree survives, but its better than nothing i guess! Taken by kevin.

getting to the top of the split pillar - a brutal splitter crack. Must jam it, not layback it! Taken by Kev.
