Discussed during booking
““I’ve hired Kinley for multiple multipitch days on the Chief in Squamish, and can’t recommend her enough.
She is calm, confident, and exceptionally knowledgeable. I felt completely safe while being pushed to climb harder and refine my technique.
Every day was productive, focused, and genuinely enjoyable.”

-
Yes, you can! We have a plethora of multipitches that are suitable for folks that are new to outdoor climbing. Just let us know in advance so we can be sure to set you up for success.
-
There are a few different options to climb the Chief. The ‘easiest’ option is 5.9 and between 8 and 16 pitches, depending on the route selection.
If you have never climbed outdoors before, it may be possible to climb the Chief if you climb indoors regularly and are fit.
If you haven’t climbed before but aspire to climb the Chief, let us know and we can create a progression for you beginning with an intro to outdoor climbing in a single pitch environment to get you started.
-
Yes! For multipitch climbing, the guest-to-guide ratio is 2:1, so for more than 2 guests, your group would have more than 1 guide.
