Book nowGuided Multi-Pitch Climbing in Squamish
Custom multi-pitch climbing is a guided full or half day on Squamish’s long granite routes, with an ACMG-certified guide leading and you following, one or two climbers per guide. If you have top-roped 5.6 in a gym or outside, you can do this. Strong climbers can aim much higher: our guides work routes from the easiest classics on the Apron to the Grand Wall.
We’ll match the route to you. Before your day we ask four things: what kind of climbing you like, what grade you climb (and whether that’s indoors or out), how many pitches you want, and how many people are in your group. A pitch is one rope length, usually 30 to 60 m, and most routes here run 100 to 450 m. That fits in a full day, and shorter objectives work as a half day.
Want to lead multi-pitch yourself instead of following? Take our Multi-Pitch Climbing Course. Shopping for objectives? See our 50 Squamish classics.

Am I ready for a multi-pitch climb?
Almost certainly. If you’ve top-roped 5.6, can be on the move for three hours and can hike an hour uphill, we can find a route for you. Your guide leads every pitch and builds the anchors, so you can concentrate on the climbing.
How much does it cost?
Pricing is per person. A full day is $625 for one climber or $365 each for two. A half day is $415 for one climber or $265 each for two. GST is extra.
Which route will we climb?
It depends on your grade, how long you want to be on the wall and the conditions. Popular choices include Skywalker 5.8, Calculus Crack 5.8, Squamish Buttress 5.10a, Angel’s Crest 5.10b and the Grand Wall 5.11a. Your guide will confirm the plan with you before the day.
Why only two climbers per guide?
On a multi-pitch route the guide manages every belay and anchor. Keeping it to two climbers keeps the day moving, which matters on long routes, and keeps everyone close enough to coach.
Can I do a half day?
Yes. A half day runs from about 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, and the start time can be moved. It suits shorter routes or a first taste of multi-pitch.
