I’ve never really had a ‘mega project’; a climb where I acknowledge I would need multiple seasons or years to potentially send. In the past I’ve tried routes over a couple seasons, but usually out of a kind of necessity – I'd felt obligated to keep trying because of time I’d already put in, rather than out of love for the climb. This route is different.

Dreamcatcher has always had this forbidden aura around it, leaving me feeling unworthy. “You can look, but you can’t touch.” Because of this, I admired the line from afar, but never took the next step to tie in.

Then my good friend Dan (@dan.beland) convinced me to give it a try. He is in Squamish for June this year, and after a quick tick of his goal for the month 💪, he was psyched to get on this iconic line. And so we started the journey together.

It has been so much fun working Dreamcatcher and piecing together its intricacies. The route no longer feels too intimidating – it just feels motivating. I’m truly looking forward to the next few seasons (years?) of the process.

Time. It has this sneaky habit of flying by way faster than you expect.

So happy to have you as my partner in life, love, adventure. Doing our best to not let time just pass us by, for 10 years and counting 💛.
