The Apron

   

This is the one stop fun shop in Squamish. And everybody knows it.

The Apron is the fat wad of granite that forms a skirt (or, say, an apron?) at the base of The Chief, to the left of The Grand Wall. It has many multi-pitch climbs in the moderate grades. Every weekend, faster than you can say "exceedingly popular", The Apron is dotted with climbers.

The good news is that 90% of said climbers are on either Diedre (5.7) or Snake (5.9). The latter is a quality outing that specializes in thin traversing moves with a "big air" feel. If you can stomach having scrums at every belay station, I would highly recommend it! If you have designs for any other route, you stand a good chance of having it to yourself.
