Split Asunder
Split Asunder is a redeveloped crag in Squamish’s Smoke Bluffs, with 35 routes ranging from 5.7 to 5.12c. The climbing is mostly traditional, with crack lines, crimpy sport routes, and a chimney among the area’s varied options.
The approach takes under five minutes. Follow the loop trail to Lumberland, then take the rough path up the short hill and continue left around the viewpoint; the access trail to Split Asunder branches right soon afterward. Lower routes are reached along a forested trail at the base, while a gully with a fixed line leads to the Upper Tier.
The namesake route Split Asunder is a 5.8 sport climb through a deep chasm, with the difficulty affected noticeably by climber size. Arete Asunder provides a longer option at 5.10b, 20 m and five pitches, following the slabby arete rather than the headwall.
