      @@petewhittington9399 na bro, an emotional support piece is when it's a terrible placement but there to give you some sort of reassurance, that defo was a panic piece, placed just before he pumped out.

      On their own, those first two pitches are called Merci Me, 5.8 R.
      Great fun, but very run out. 8 bolts total, between the two long pitches.

    I can't wait to watch this! I was able to visit Squamish this year in May and September, thanks to my friend from school who's a weekend warrior climber up there. Some of the best memories I've made so far have been having a blast on the Apron and at the best crag I've ever been to, Smoke Bluffs!

Squamish is definitely a climbing destination for climbers throughout the world. Outdoor activities is absolutely amazing around that town. Cheers guys, thoroughly enjoy the vid, well done 👍😎👏👏👏

    Thank you Noah for this visual experience. Moving to Squish in 1991 and doing hockey, ski, canoe but only dabbled in climbing. Being part of sorca i experienced the Baldwin cooper party at Howe sound brew pub(2005ish). But from still pics It was hard to understand the climb. Thanks for making this experience video so Fellows like me can visualize the feat. It sure looks amazing and well worth it! I only know the top of the chief from hiking not climbing.

    Nice to see the granite of my old Happy Place. Coming around the corner with the first view of The Chief, I would get the biggest smile and just feel blissful. The only multipitch on the big wall that I did was technically on the Apron: Banana Split. It was totally runout. The scariest part though was the walk off. I spent most of my trips in the Bluffs, Marin Park, Cheakamus and that crag above the Sound.
