Looking southwest from the Center Summit of the Chief you can see the South Summit, Howe Sound and Hwy 99.
Looking north from the top of the North Gully. Garibaldi Peak dominates the skyline. The slabs on the right side are the "northern flanks" of the Sqaw. They are up and left of the main climbing found on the Sqaw. Word has it that there has been some exploration and development there lately...

From left to right:

At the far left of the photo you can just see the top of the Apron (six pitches up, to give you a sense of scale).

Then there's the University Wall and Grand Wall areas. The Black Dyke is visible going through the big roofs.

The Dihedrals area is the darker section in the middle. Up and right from the Dihedrals you can see the Tantalus wall.

Finally, the Bulletheads are on the far right.”
