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.

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Explore Share is a really usefull website that has a great overview of reviewed guides for a (in our case) hiking/climbing trip. During the booking I got assigned an assistent for Explore Share that helped solve questions that I might have. Great customer service, and I will come back again.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
