Access Issue: Camping
Details
The popularity of Squamish within the #vanlife community has increased to the point that there is great concern about the group’s collective environmental impact. “Wild” or “Freedom” camping has become unmanageable environmentally because of the high numbers of campers. This is a serious issue that causes conflict between locals, home owners, and climbers!
VAN CAMPING / WILD CAMPING
Within District Boundaries
The District of Squamish PROHIBITS camping within the municipal boundary. This includes sleeping in a vehicle anywhere within District boundaries. A bylaw gives the District the power to issue tickets for contraventions.
Camping on urban / residential streets is prohibited under pre-existing bylaws.
The “hot spots” that have been of most concern are below.
· The whole of the Mamquam Forest Service Road under the North Walls of the Chief between the junction with the 99 and junction with the Stawamus/Indian Arm Forest Service Road (as a salmon run and sensitive riparian area, camping close to the Stawamus River is especially inappropriate)
· The Powerhouse Springs Road including the parking area for the Fern Hill cliff
· The dirt road to the kitesurfing “Spit.”
Outside of District Boundaries
If you explore forest roads in crown land outside the municipal boundaries, it may be possible to find discreet roadside sites suitable for tents or van camping. However, the provincial authorities do have some restrictions ;
· Stays are limited to 14 days.
· Campers should follow Leave No Trace principles. HUMAN WASTE is a major issue.
· Strictly observe any current fire bans.

Description
A short boulder move protected by the first bolt gets you onto the slab above. From here delicately move up the well featured slab to the second bolt and then to the horizontal break with a tree. Don't forget to sling the tree before continuing on up the upper slab to the third bolt. This is the mental crux of the route and it is run out. A decent small nut placement is possible just past the tree on your way to the third bolt. Easy climbing from the third bolt to the anchors.
The run outs on this climb are a bit spooky but both the upper and lower portions of the slab are well endowed with many well defined edges. The hardest move on this climb is pulling up and onto the lower slab.
A variation of this climb, Sunny Girl, goes left from the tree to another bolt. It is equally as run out but the potential fall isn't as scary.
