Base camp

1009 Centennial Wy

We will meet Friday early evening at the Brennan Park Municipal Campground, on the eastern limit of Squamish, BC, and just a five minute drive from the quaint downtown. Here we will host camping and morning/evening entertainment. There is lots of parking space (you will also have the option to camp in your vehicle), running potable water and toilets. You will be required to bring your own camping equipment. Showers are available only a stone's throw away at Brennan Park Rec Center (at your own cost). 

Climbing programs

Smoke Bluffs Parking

Squamish, BC

V0N 1T0

Our clinics will be held in the Smoke Bluffs and in South Chek, Cheakamus canyon.

 

The Bluffs are only a 10 minute pleasant walk from the campsite. The park offers a huge selection of easy-access high quality crags, with routes from 5.4 to 5.13d – some bolted and others requiring traditional protection to lead. Many of the crags have safe access to the top to set up top ropes. In the event of rain, most clinics will still run, as we can shelter under overhangs and focus on technical systems and discussion. The Bluffs face south and are exposed to the wind, so some climbs are dry within minutes after the rain!

Cheakamus Canyon Climbing Site

Conroy Forest Service Road, BC

South Chek is about a 15-20 minutes by car from the campsite followed by a steep 5 minutes approach on slightly loose terrain to get to the crag. Electric Avenue features slab to vertical routes in the ranges of 5.3 to 5.12b – all bolted.
