New Squamish Climbing Trail

[j_claw]

Does anyone have any info on the new climbing trail starting from the first right hand corner on the main fireroad - just up from Quest Uni?

Where does it come out, how long, how steep, etc?

THANKS!

30 mins or so. Couple of steep switchbacks near the top. Comes out on the road that leads to the SORCA shelter.

Thanks. Which trails does it cross to get you to the SORCA shelter?

Crosses the bottom of Pseudo Tsuga, then crosses an unmarked FSR. Keep going up until you hit Ring Creek FSR, turn left and you'll hit the shelter eventually. It's a great alternative to riding up the road, and is very well marked.

This. It's awesome. Bit of a grunt currently as it's super loose and dusty, but thoroughly reccommended. Props to the SORCA crew...

if a few squamton locals say it is not too steep i cant wait to go and die on it. The road is a good warm up but i will always take a climb trail over the road. Thank u trail builders!!
