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
Known as Squamish's hardest stemming exercise! Characterized by insecure smearing and palming over small gear, this route is a true test piece of corner climbing. The movement is slippery and sequential and the gear is small and finicky. Subtle body tension and flawless technique will serve you far better on this one than raw power and finger strength! Most find getting off the ground to be hard, but the middle section seems to present the greatest difficulties!
Location
Located on the rim left of the top of Angel's Crest (clearly visible while climbing the upper part of Angel's Crest). Access is top down. To approach, hike to the north side of the North Gully between Second and Third peak and traverse the rim to locate the anchor. It is the corner to the skier's right of the North Star / Crack of Destiny corner.
