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.

DESIGNATED CAMPGROUNDS

Please see the District of Squamish website for a comprehensive list of designated campgrounds.

Recommended affordable camping:

- At the Chief: Stawamus Chief Provincial Park Campground BC parks site, spots start at $10.00 CAD/person. No reservations.
- 7 minutes north: Mamquam River Campground A non-profit site, spots start at $15.00cad/night for a drive-in site. Reservations recommended, not required.
- 20 minutes north: Chek Canyon Recreation Site A public site; no fees, no reservations and world class sport-climbing. No running water. The road is steep and rough but 4x4 not required

Description

Using some terrain from the old aid climb “Jeannine”, the highlight of this route is the excellent 68m rope-stretching finger crack on the second pitch. A 70m rope is mandatory as you won’t make it to the anchor with a 60m! Bring lots of finger-sized gear and many draws, including some extendable ones.

Pitch 1 (“5.8”, 3 bolts + gear) Start as for Local Girls P1 at the far left side of the base area, but continue up the thin crack to Jeannine Ledge and a bolted anchor. Originally graded 5.8 by the party that established “Jeannine” and hard for the grade.

Pitch 2 (10d, 6 bolts + gear, 68m) Start up the finger crack above the belay until possible to climb right along a perplexing dyke past bolts to reach the splitter finger crack on Local Girls P2. Climb it to the top (Local Girls moves right here) and step left to gain another long crack system. While you can take this easing crack to the top (Jeannine’s original finish) the best climbing moves back right across the slab past a lone bolt to gain another long, beautiful finger crack (trust me, do this finish). Rappel slightly climber’s left to a bolted station atop Dark Matter, and two more rappels to the ground.

Location

Starts from Jeannine Ledge via "Liftoff" or the beginning of "Local Girls" p1

Protection

70m rope, SR to 1.5", extra finger sized gear, lots of quickdraws. 5 bolts on the dyke traverse, 6 if you clip the one on Local Girls with a long draw.
