Conquering The Chief!

Today we conquered 'The Chief' - three different summits on a granite cliff in Stawamus Chief Provincial Park.

I'll be honest - it was way harder than we imagined. It took four hours and involved using chains, climbing tactics & scrambling.

The only downside was how busy it was; it's well-known & therefore a popular route. However it's a stunning hike & gives views over Howe Sound & Squamish.

We also got to play with chipmunks at the top - clearly my personal highlight. Check it out:








Yes it was hard work, but undoubtedly worth it!
