Hi, I'm hoping to have a few days in Squarmish next month.

I have the topo for the route I'm doing, but know nothing about the place, the walk-ins, camping, do's and don'ts etc. So if anyone has any general info about the place, or a guidebook I could borrow to copy a few pages that would be cool.

Thanks.

If you mean Squamish, then best check this out -> http://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/t.php?t=614197

In reply to Jack Frost:

Only a problem if the route you're thinking of is Angel's Crest, and others in that area. Apart from that everything's fine.

OP - all the info you need is here: http://www.mountainproject.com/v/squamish/105798170

I assume the university wall area is no where near that rock fall?

In reply to David Coley:

I've got the Squamish Select guide (a Quickdraw publication in the Rockfax style), 2012 Edition. You can borrow that or let me know the bits you're interested in.

Alan, If I could borrow it that would be great. I'll PM my address to you. Thanks.

Climbed there in June 2001 and used a Provincial Park campsite just up the road, fine early season. In wet weather the climbs on some of the outcrops can dry very quickly.
I believe "heavy duty" is resident in Squamish and is very active still, a source of local info should you run into him (ex Halifax, West Yorkshire).

In reply to David Smith:

heavy appears to be mostly into hula hoops and extra curriculars when I was there in 2012. Few friends invited him to dinner at the brew pub made for an entertaining evening.
