The Squamish Climbing Strategy report of November 2008 was presented to Squamish Council on November 24th by Kevin McLane and Todd Gerhart for the SAS. The 30 minute slide show highlighting key aspects of the report’s findings and recommendations was very well received.  This resulted in Council approving a package of actions on January 12th that will impact on climbing around Squamish in many ways. Council gave unanimous approval to the 12 staff recommendations.

These 12 action recommendations are well worth reading, and although the wheels of government move slowly, the District of Squamish seems set on a course that will steadily improve and secure rock climbing and alpine access in the Squamish area.
