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 direct line up the buttress that will test your technical skill.
P1. Start just right of the bay below a bolt. Climb face holds and cracks to a ledge and a thin crux gaining the dyke above (.12c, 3 bolts, ~25m).
P2. Climb the layback flake to a technical crux when the corner closes. At the top of the flake, gain a ramp back left to an anchor that is shared with S&L (.11d, 7 bolts, ~25m).
P3. Climb the sustained, featured slab directly above. When a dyke finally provides some relief, follow it up and right to an anchor (.11c, 6 bolts, ~25m).
P4. Continue straight above to a flake and easier climbing. Finish straight up or to the right in the shallow dihedral with S&L (.11a, 4 bolts, ~20m).
