Land acknowledgment

We have climbed and worked with indigenous people around the world and we believe in truth and reconciliation with indigenous peoples. Our values are not capitalistic and we believe the mountains, the water, the air, the forests, and the animals are all sacred and not here to be exploited. We believe in increased political power for indigenous nations to protect that which they hold sacred.

Rock Solid Guides humbly, respectfully, and whole-heartedly acknowledge that the programs we operate in Squamish, BC are on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples – Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Tsleil-Waututh & Musqueam First Nations.

Around Golden, BC we are visitors to the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Ktunaxa peoples.

We respect the land and honour this tradition of land acknowledgment that dates back centuries for indigenous people.

With this acknowledgment, we thank those indigenous peoples who live on and care for these lands, their ancestors, and we offer our support to future generations.

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.
