Andy Lamb ticks IMAX (8C)

Andy Lamb, with four 8C+โ€™ to his name, has repeated Ethan Salvoโ€™s IMAX (8C) in Squamish.

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
IMAX is a sick new one put up by Ethan last year. All comes down to a big jump to a good crimp at the top. Hands are good but it's hard to generate on the feet. Really nice line.

What are your 2026 plans?
Got a few international trips planned for this spring and summer. Might be moving later this year, so I'm trying to take advantage of my last spring in Squamish too
