Highlights

  • Discover one of the best multi-pitch routes between Squamish and Whistler.
  • Spend half a day on an exciting rock climbing adventure with a certified guide.
  • Enjoy amazing views of the Cheakamus River.

Description

The Star Chek is a majestic multi-pitch climbing route located between Squamish and Whistler. It rises up right behind the raging Cheakamus River, so the views while you climb are absolutely breathtaking!

You will climb this 3-pitch route together with a professional guide from our team, in a half-day adventure lasting around 4-5 hours. Each pitch becomes gradually more difficult, but the overall difficulty is not too challenging. Previous experience in single-pitch climbing is desirable, but the Star Chek multi-pitch is probably one of the best options around Squamish and Whistler to get into multi-pitch climbing.

We will start the day at 8.15 AM, meeting at our office in Whistler, where you’ll meet your guide, get the climbing equipment, and from there we’ll drive to the climbing area. If you are coming from Squamish, the meeting point will be the Squamish Adventure Centre.

Once there, you’ll discover one of the most classic and scenic routes in the Squamish area. The granite wall rises up right from the side of the Cheakamus River, which is born in Garibaldi Provincial Park and runs through the Cheakamus Canyon before joining the Squamish River.

From start to finish of the climb Phil was super professional and friendly, made me feel really at ease despite my nerves on the day and explained every aspect of the climb in great detail. He assessed my capabilities and chose the route that was right for me and the most exciting, which was also very appreciated and took some great photos ;) I could not recommend spending a day with Phil more!5
We got assigned Madison Bailey to be our guide up the multi pitch (star chek). Communication was easy and planning what to bring was simple. My girlfriend and came from Boston and flew into Vancouver, spent a few days in Squamish, and then spent a few more days in Vancouver city. We scheduled our multi pitch with Madison B on the first full day of our trip and it was great. He was on time and his personality was great. He did the lead climb first bringing up two ropes so he could belay my gf and I as we followed on lead after. We were able to climb at the same time (a few body lengths apart) and at no time did we feel unsafe. We were able to climb the multi pitch rather quickly without much fuss with rope management. What was even nicer was his recommendations for the rest of our time in Squamish. He was able to recommend good hikes and attractions for the other two days we spent in Squamish making our trip memorable and epic!5
