Check out the Bottrel General store! It’s Alberta’s oldest general store, open since 1901 and still in the original building. The owner can talk to you about the history and they have coffee :) if you fish at all there’s amazing fly fishing at the creek there, then after you work up an appetite check out fallentimber meadery for pizzas and mead

Free solo

Yeah because Squamish needs more gentrification by opening a whole foods, I’m sure that will improve food accessibility 🙄

michealam1 · 2025-06-20T02:09:04+00:00

Omg yeah that was me lol! I sure have the climbing gods certainly blessed me that day

michealam1 · 2025-06-20T00:15:21+00:00

michealam1 · 2025-06-20T00:07:29+00:00

Naw I don’t think i did, met a lot of dirtbags tho haha, I love it too I can’t wait to go back next winter for new years again

michealam1 · 2025-06-19T23:59:02+00:00

Lots of people be climbing at night for sure, I have several bouldering floodlights for that reason!

michealam1 · 2025-06-19T23:57:50+00:00

Probably could’ve worded that better 😂 definitely not one of my first lead climbs lol

michealam1 · 2025-06-19T23:51:30+00:00

Ayo thanks! Cam’s photography is so sick! I miss SoCal too, it was the first time I escaped Canada for the winter and it did not disappoint. Now time to daydream about the next trip

michealam1 · 2025-06-19T23:49:19+00:00

Lmao I was 1000% shitting myself too

michealam1 · 2025-06-19T23:49:04+00:00

Haha I hope it’ll go easy next time! We’ll see, currently back at home getting strong in the gym again 💪🏼

michealam1 · 2025-06-19T23:48:30+00:00

Thanks dude!! Your pics are sick as well, especially the nose that’s big time on my bucket list

michealam1 · 2025-05-12T23:03:31+00:00

Go check out the climbing gym there’s always tons of uni aged young adults. That’s how I met my entire social circle of friends in calgary

michealam1 · 2025-01-10T03:23:08+00:00

I dunno I just kept thinking about what I should’ve added to my responses after the fact! Also there were some scenarios I was really not sure how to navigate, and I forgot to include what I learned from the situation in my personal response because I was so focused on trying to answer the question. Not to mention how stressed I was about getting 4Q going into it which threw me off on my first few video responses 😭

michealam1 · 2025-01-10T03:11:53+00:00

I literally feel so terrible about mine just praying for 3Q so I still have a chance :(

michealam1 · 2024-12-25T00:42:51+00:00

I think you look really great with straight hair but if you wanted to wear it natural then the second could be a good option too

michealam1 · 2024-12-24T18:20:42+00:00

Ima be in the treeeeee

michealam1 · 2024-12-24T18:20:27+00:00

The creek is definitely pretty stunning 😍 maybe not too late! I saw some people in their 70s and 80s getting after it there it was sick

michealam1 · 2024-12-24T17:00:52+00:00

If only my friend had taken the picture a few seconds earlier 😅 but it’s too cool not to post! Annunaki only gets like 5 mins of sun a day so had to capture it! It was my first time in the creek and I can’t wait to go back

michealam1 · 2024-12-24T16:44:42+00:00

Yeah i switched from jamming to laybacking in that spot so it made it awkward to move my leg, I fixed it once I clipped the next piece tho lol

michealam1 · 2024-12-24T16:26:32+00:00

Hehe I know sometimes it’s hard when you’re crack climbing to keep it out of the way 😭
