The Stawamus Chief is a granite dome located adjacent to the town of Squamish, British Columbia. It towers over 700 m (2,297 ft) above the waters of nearby Howe Sound. It is often claimed to be the "second largest granite monolith in the world."
There are three main summit areas:

* First Peak or the South Summit (610 m (2,001 ft))
* Second Peak or the Centre Summit (655 m (2,149 ft))
* Third Peak or the North Summit (702 m (2,303 ft))

This time we climbed the first peak. It was an awesome hike!
