Instants 4 Today was a good day, one of those magical days that makes the pain and hard work worth it. It was very special to have my son, Thomas, cheer me on as I made it to the top of The Reckoning V14, my hardest to date. Even though he is only 8 months old I think he understood what I had just done. I sat on top of the boulder looking down at him in his portable crib and we giggled together taking in the moment. The other guys who were bouldering on the adjacent boulder blissful looked on. Thomas and I started this project together almost 4 months ago and we finished it together today. This photo is from a few weeks ago as I forgot my phone today and had no extra room for my camera. I did managed to carry 3 @petzl_official crash pads, diaper bag, baby squeeze food tube, baby crackers, a change of cloths for Thomas, toy car, toy rattle, toy rings, baby water bottle, my water bottle, my @evolvusa #Shaman's and #agro's, chalk bag, brush, collapsable baby crib, and of course 21 pound Thomas! Having a baby adds a new dimension when packing! #squamish #squamishbouldering #bouldering #alwaysevolv #croakiesadventure #petzlgram #sendage A photo posted by Jamie Finlayson (@jamiefinlayson) on Jun 30, 2016 at 10:12pm PDT Butterfly Cluster.

Not sure which is better here in Canada..the quality of the rock or the quality of the people. Met so many crushers and beginners alike and yet the psyche is the same for everyone. Good times here in the forest.

Had a burn on Dreamcatcher followed by a some bouldering. Here Christian works on a new V11 traverse. Super cool getting to know Christian and his wife Stella. They are so nice and a great addition to the #squamish climbing community. #squamishbouldering #bouldering #crusher A photo posted by Jamie Finlayson (@jamiefinlayson) on Jun 26, 2016 at 4:03pm PDT Squamish is amazing. The options from hundreds of boulder problems led to 4 flappers and bleeding tips, but it was so worth it.

First day on this amazing problem and I'm walking away beaten, bloodied, and without a send. I've worked out the beta though, so I'll have to come back fresh and put this one to bed ๐ช๐ผ // Ramen Raw V7, Apron Boulders A photo posted by Adam Chan (@bathang.adam) on Jun 25, 2016 at 7:23pm PDT I find I don't boulder as much as I'd like to these days. With my focus shifting constantly, I feel like it might be time to get back to my roots and go for the pebbles! Here I am trying to link the first half to Sesame Street Direct V8. I came quite closing to sending last session — hopefully it will come together soon. #bouldering #boulder #climbing #climbingphotosofinstagram #rocks #climbonsquamish #squamish #getoutthere #explorebc #nature @organicclimbing Special thanks to Julia Bobak for the photo. A photo posted by Mario Delisle (@mariodelisle) on Jun 26, 2016 at 7:53pm PDT As the summer heats up, the travelers roll into the forest. @rjbaum swept in from the Midwest with his super sweet Texas heeler, Gibson (think red heeler and blue heeler combo). He is crushing all the Squamish classics with ease! Not to mention a casual journey up the Grandwall… I'm always psyched to have new homies join the bouldering crew!
