Amazing Rock Climbing

Squamish BC claims to be the “Outdoor Recreation Capital of the world”, while that may be a hard claim to defend, they do offer some of the most spectacular rock climbing opportunities.
Squamish Rock Guides offer some Amazing Tours that take climbers of all skill levels up with a guide. Each trip is customized to fit the ability and comfort level of each climber.
The most popular cliff in Squamish is the Stawamus Chief. There are several routes that will take you up this massive rock, but the most popular is the “Ultimate Everything”. Squamish Rock Guides say:
“This is, arguably, the easiest route to the summit of the Chief. It starts on the Apron, crosses the South Gully and then follows a myriad of slab, face and crack pitches to the top. It is popular and very pleasant.”
A full day of guiding will cost around $355 for 1:1 instruction, or $230 for you and a friend to have one instructor.
