Having explored world class climbing destinations around the globe for decades, Tonde finally made the trek North to Squamish. Like a kid in a candy store he sampled as much as possible, including this masterpiece, Black Slabbath.

Nicholas setting up on micro crimps for the committing finish on The Outlaw Star, my recent FA in the Sherrif's Badge. So psyched to watch Nicholas score the second ascent of this line 👊! Really stoked on this one! If anyone is keen hit me up -- I'd love to bring a pad and support 🤘

Allen with the techy transition into the crystally slopers of Chung Prow, a beautiful Grandwall boulder with some spice that deserves more love. Thank you to all of those who put in the hard work of keeping these classics clean and maintaining the trails so all of us can continue to enjoy such a magical place 🙏

Inspiration comes in many forms...aesthetic, movement, uniqueness, ego, lore, environment, etc. Sometimes inspiration is immediate and other times it grows like an acquired taste. Whatever the reasons inspiration is the secret sauce in turning uncertainty and doubt into possibility and reality. Here's Ash summoning the psych to latch the perfect granite rail on the Rampage classic, Busted.

Today looked to be the last crispy Spring day in Squamish before Summer so we all got out to take full advantage. I'm really psyched to share a new addition to the Sherrifs Badge boulders: The Outlaw Star, a techy improbable face with strange undercling features that lead to a committing and spicy finish! It was an awesome process cleaning, discovering key holds, trying to unlock the moves to make it go, and finally piecing it all together. Thank you for all the support as well as all of my friends ❤️ and huge thanks to for sharing his adventure psych and bringing me here back in those dark and rainy winter days!

Located on the far right side of the Thunderballs face. Start with a left hand gaston on the first mini-roof feature and a thin right hand crimp. Climb straight up and right though improbable holds onto the blank face for a spicy and committing finish to the juggy lip. @ Squamish, British Columbia

Whenever I hear it's someone's first time in Squamish I get goosebumps of excitement. I just imagine that feeling of experiencing the magical forest, all of the amazing rock, and the beautiful town for the first time again. Alex slapping the non-holds of The Egg and coming so close to sending on his first ever sesh on his first ever day in Squamish.

Rain is in the forecast but Squamish Spring has been with us so far 🙏 knocking on all the wood for the clouds to pass by quick. Here's Tasha getting swanky and styling her way through this Grandwall classic, Swank Stretch, where a fancy heel and strong fingers are rewarded.

Paul pulling the cruxy lip of Zombie Roof, a fully horizontal splitter just minutes from the Smoke Bluffs parking lot. Definitely one on the dream list!

Allen cleaned off a new classic highball last week near the Lost World and had an opening day party. Jen compressing up the double aretes of Lost and Found, the fresh striking line with cool wrap and pinch holds to a committing move and airy mantel. Destined to be a classic Squamish highball. Cheers to Allen for putting in the hard work.

Ash gettin shwifty with a wide toe hook to match the slippery rail on Boysize, a classic Joe's Valley sandbag. On the snow flurry days we found this zone stayed protected -- in the canyon we'd catch frostbite, but in the Boysize area we'd sometimes be in tshirts catching a tan. ORGANIC Climbing
