Rock Climbing

In the summer, the Whistler area has some of the best rock climbing in the world - most famous are the long, multi pitch routes on the 650 metre / 2145 feet high granite massif called "The Chief". You may have seen it near Squamish on your drive to Whistler. In the summer, keep your eyes sharp for people actually climbing it.

Whether scaling sheer rock faces or just learning the basics, there are plenty of opportunities to learn from Whistler's local rock climbing tour companies. Check out these other climbing adventures:

"Rock Tours" offers enough instruction to get you up and climbing in the same day. An on-site guide will coach and offer assistance. Half-day sessions are held in the Whistler area while full days take place in Squamish.

Full two-day courses are aimed at those with little or no experience. Learn techniques, rope management, anchor building, rappelling and safety.
