16km North of Squamish near Cat Lake is a small talus of high quality boulders with finer grain granite and unique shapes. Conditions are best before mid afternoon as the classics of the area get afternoon sun.

Drive North from Squamish on the Sea to Sky for 14km. Look for a right exit for Cat Lake a few km after passing Alice Lake. Drive the dirt road, take the first right which leads to the Cat Lake parking. Swoop around left up the Forest Service Road and drive uphill for another couple minutes where the boulders will be on your left in a small talus field.

Amazing Direct v7
It’s tallish. And the construction project that holds up the landing is questionable.
