A Squamish man climbed the Stawamus Chief hike for the 500th time on Saturday, and to make things even more extreme, he’s done one everyday for the last 500 days in a row.
Squamish’s Mike Roberts has been hiking, climbing and running up the iconic 500 metre hike, for his own mental health.
He’s going public with his adventures, to help raise awareness on how physical activity can help those living with mental health issues.
“I was having a lot of mental health issues related to some head trauma injuries,” Roberts said.
Roberts is recovering from substance abuse issues that stemmed from his traumatic brain injury prior to his running renaissance.
