Climbing 'Calculus Crack' in Squamish

Calculus Crack is a classic trad multipitch climb located above Squamish, BC, Canada.

The climb follows a prominent crack system up the North Apron on The Chief. The 5.8 crux pitch features an off-vertical splitter finger crack with great options for protection.

Daniel Gunn and I climbed Calculus Crack on June 29th, 2024.

The chief is amazing. And good climbing. I need to get back out and hit the stones again.

[VampirezPlaysyeepshideandseek]

The realization: how do we get down now?

[justaguy]

This looks THIRLLING id love to try it but id be terrified to do it alone

[kevinportela-ohdq]

i dont know if its just me, but the POV makes me anxious 😭

[mgoboski]

We gotta get you out to Boulder and do Longs Peak.

[DUSTINNEREM]

I want to know what got you into rock climbing?

[idunno]

I was wondering what's your camera setup for recording while you climb? the setup looks great!

[Babybluecooker]

Bro how do u do this I would be terrified

[Shanks]

FEEDBACK: OK video but the POV of hands-only, and the rock always one foot away, was disorienting. I was hoping to replicate the real climbing experience, so I could imagine being there myself. Suggest you move your head more when doing these go-pro vids... show your feet, look at view, look up, look down. That would be amazing. Instead, it felt like one of those El Capitan speed climbing videos. Finally, brief shots of the anchors & gear would be very helpful and informative for those of us who know how to climb. I could see a GriGri was used to rappel down, that's about it.

PS: To watch Calculus Crack being climbed, you get a perfect view from the small parking lot across the FSR (forest service road) from the Climber's Parking Lot. Bring binocs. To cut-in ground level shots of the climbers at various points would be amazing, too.
