Jim is 83 this year and climbs every day. Yup every day. I was almost speechless when he told me one day that he spent all day cleaning out finger holds with a toothbrush for other climbers safety.
There are hundreds of climbs here. One rock face here has 600 separate climbs and that does not include the climbs on the Chief. We also have some really awesome Search and Rescue folks supporting the climbers with a good hospital thrown in for good measure.
We also have climbers who take a glider in tow up the Chief and fly down to a school yard. Next stop is Star Bucks. Then up to Whistler for snowboarding or skiing. Or golfing or fishing or canoeing or biking off road or wind surfing or hiking or you just name it. Squamish is the Outdoor Capital of Canada..
And of course we have the SEA to Sky Highway(99)which is better than most rides in the world. Beautiful curves, snow covered mountain tops in summer and it never gets boring. Did I mention the fresh air and very few bugs?
