About Us

Daniel Butler, Owner When Dan first hitched a ride to Squamish in 1986 he took one look at the mountains and was hooked. Since then, Dan has spent much of his time climbing trad and alpine in areas like the Hindu Kush, the Pyrenees, the French Alps, the High Tatras, the Adirondacks, the Rockies, and, of course, right here in Squamish. Dan is happy to call Squamish home and looks forward to helping climbers get climbing.

Jeremy Smith, Manager Jeremy's first trip to Squamish was in 1997. At that point he vowed to relocate to the best climbing area in Canada. Having climbed in Spain, France, Russia, and all over North America, he realized that Squamish was clearly the place to be. Jeremy climbs all styles, lately focusing on hard traditional routes and bouldering. Having worked as a rigger, climbing gym manager, ropes course instructor, and full time routesetter, his intimate knowledge of all things climbing will be an asset to anyone who comes by the shop.
