The Stawamus Chief

A stitched together panoramic of the north walls of the Chief taken from the loop trail in the Smoke Bluffs just above the far right side of Ronin's Corner.<br>

Angel's Crest runs up the edge visible in the middle of the image, just left of the Sheriff's Badge.

The Chief from the North (taken from hospital parking lot)

Looking southwest from the Center Summit of the Chief you can see the South Summit, Howe Sound and Hwy 99.

This picture, taken from the side of Hwy. 99, a few hundred feet south of the main parking lot, shows most of the Chief's east facing walls. This picture doesn't do the size of the formation justice.<br>

From left to right:<br>

At the far left of the photo you can just see the top of the Apron (six pitches up, to give you a sense of scale).<br>
<br>
Then there's the University Wall and Grand Wall areas. The Black Dyke is visible going through the big roofs. <br>
<br>
The Dihedrals area is the darker section in the middle. Up and right from the Dihedrals you can see the Tantalus wall.<br>
<br>
Finally, the Bulletheads are on the far right.

Looking north from the top of the North Gully. Garibaldi Peak dominates the skyline. The slabs on the right side are the "northern flanks" of the Sqaw. They are up and left of the main climbing found on the Sqaw. Word has it that there has been some exploration and development there lately...

One of the sections of ladder and chains leading to the South Summit. As a climber you aren't likely to need these, or even encounter them on a climbing day unless you climb on the Raven's Castle. Even the routes that take you high up on the Grand Wall like The Roman Chimneys allow you to traverse off below the summit where these are encountered. For taking non-climbers for a fun hike, however, these features give them a feel of adventure not found on most hikes.

Lost somewhere in the middle of the Chief

Looking up the chief

a few years ago I felt a little crazy after free climbing from the second summit to the top of the Chief, I'm better now...... ha

Also from the north gully, I think. This may be where the BASE jumpers launch from, but I'm not sure.

The sight of the Chief is amazing! Here We are looking to the slab on the left
