Book nowGroup Rock Climbing in Squamish for Schools, Camps and Companies
We run guided half and full days of rock climbing in Squamish for groups: school classes, youth camps, corporate teams and big groups of friends. Nobody needs to have climbed before. We set up the ropes, teach everyone to climb and belay safely, and run the day so the whole group is climbing, not standing around. Pricing starts at $90 per climber for a half day, with up to 6 climbers per guide, and harnesses, helmets and shoes are included for groups of up to 12.
What works for a Grade 9 class is not what works for a sales team, so tell us who’s coming, how many, and what you want out of the day. A team-building focus, a school outdoor-ed credit, or just a fun day outside: we’ll plan around it and pick a crag with a short approach and routes for every level.

How much does a group day cost?
A full day is $140 per climber and a half day is $90 per climber, plus GST. Climbing shoes, harnesses and helmets are included for groups of up to 12. Larger groups pay a rental fee for that gear.
How big a group can you take?
We guide at up to 6 climbers per guide, so we add guides as your group grows. Contact us with your numbers and we’ll plan the staffing and the crag to suit.
Does anyone need climbing experience?
No. Most groups we take have never climbed outside. Everyone gets a safety briefing and instruction, and the guides set up routes of different grades so beginners and keener climbers can all be challenged.
How long is the walk to the crag?
Usually about 15 minutes on gentle terrain. We choose crags with short, easy approaches for groups.
Can you take youth and school groups?
Yes. We regularly work with schools and youth camps, and offer discounted pricing for students. Every participant needs a signed waiver, and minors need theirs signed by a parent or legal guardian.
Can you add lunch?
Yes, catered lunch can be added. Contact us and we’ll include it in your quote.
Reviews
“I contacted five companies about setting up a custom mountaineering trip and Altus immediately got back to me with all sorts of helpful, informative details.”
“Great objective, great weather, great food, and great company - it doesn't get any better than this! Can't wait to get back out there with the Altus guides - don't leave home without 'em! ”
