Bawa is from India and moved to Canada a few years ago to study tourism. After completing his degree and attaining his work permit as per the prgramme it was suddenly retracted citing a requirement for him to complete an IELTS English exam. After doing so and waiting for that work permit to be reinstated Bawa has been unable to work for the last 9 months and is now stuck living out of his car to survive.

We chat about his story of coming to Canada, how and why this situation came about and what his future looks like.

Sorry the lighting is shit haha.

Tami Knight is a Squamish climbing legend and was a prominent Squamish climber through the 80's, some of the routes she put up include Crime of the Century, Grub Street & Cat Crack. Since this time, Tami has been drawing cartoons that illustrate the shenanigans of the climbers around her, her book Secret Plans, Vol III is a fantastic collection of her works.

Tami and I chatted about the changes of Squamish over the years, the development of Squamish climbing and her own experiences here. She is ridiculously knowledgeable and has lots to share! Thanks Tami

Hevy Duty resides in Squamish. Hevy has contributed extensively to the local community in maintaining and developing crags & trails in The Smoke Bluffs. If you have cragged at the Bluffs, you've likely benefited from the hard work of Hevy, his partner Erica and son Ethan.

After leaving Yorkshire, Hevy has been based in North America for the last number of decades. He has crossed paths with many names you will recognise. We touched on a lot in this one.

Cheers Hevy
