The Chief is the obvious large, complex, west-facing cliff clearly visible from the town of Squamish, BC.
There are occasional crags that are on private land (and closed) -- but generally climbing is well accepted and welcomed at the various crags and areas around Squamish.
Varies depending on the section -- often quite short for the amount of climbing available, except in the cases of some of the back-side crags.
