Julia Niles, an IFMGA Mountain Guide, has enjoyed mountains all over the world. Currently, she lives in Squamish with her dog and two children. She loves sharing the joy of the mountains. "When I see someone fighting for the top, or sighing with relief at the joy of being "caught", or the ecstasy of pushing through limits, I have done my job." For Julia, climbing is a metaphor for life, it is a cathedral of spirit, and a journey of healing. But do not let her touchy-feely side mislead you. She is rock-solid and can deliver a day tailored to your needs. She has been guiding rock climbing for 21 years and plans to send 5.13 this year. Watch out world.

It’s that very special time of year again where the larches start to turn their fall colours on. Exceptional views while climbing today. 😄 Territories of Treaty 7, signed in 1877, traditional territory of: - The Blackfoot Confederacy - Kainai
Best of the best multi pitch climbs in the morning and afternoon today. Beautiful Squamish granite rock 😍. Sḵwx̱wú7mesh territories.
Great views of the first summit today up high on this Squamish classic. Multi pitch climbing doesn’t get much better than this 😁. Sḵwx̱wú7mesh territories.
A few shots from a weekend of skills training with @lionsbaysar . @andrew_rennie_for_real @julia.niles and @i.strachan spent a few days with the LBSAR team members reviewing ACMG rope skills and systems in hills above Lions Bay. Big thank you to all
