For me, Squamish is a climber's playground: world-class granite walls and splitter cracks - a miniature Yosemite with fewer rules and better beer. This summer, though - during my third annual visit there - my trip to Squamish was completely different. This summer, the town and its surrounding wilderness became a race course. I (Erik) ran my first 50-miler, the Squamish50, along with Seamus Boyd-Porter. This post tells the story of a climber dabbling in ultra-marathoning. If you're reading this because you're considering running the Squamish50, then you're in luck: this post also reveals detailed tips on what has become the biggest ultra in the Pacific Northwest.
