About Squamish Rock Guides
Squamish Rock Guides is a dedicated rock climbing guiding and instruction service operating in the heart of British Columbia's Sea to Sky Corridor. Running since the early 1990s with ACMG-certified guides, the company has helped thousands of climbers experience the world-class granite of the Stawamus Chief and the surrounding Squamish crags. Squamish is widely regarded as one of the premier climbing destinations on the planet, and this outfit specialises in unlocking it safely for visitors and locals alike.
Programs run the full spectrum from first-time "Intro to Rock Climbing" half-days to multi-pitch adventures up the iconic Chief, crack-climbing clinics, learn-to-lead courses, and private custom guiding. Every trip is matched to the climber's ability, with small ratios that keep the focus on technique, safety and genuine coaching. All technical gear — harness, helmet, shoes and rope systems — is supplied, so newcomers can show up and climb without owning a thing.
What sets Squamish Rock Guides apart is the depth of local knowledge baked into every outing. Their guides climb here year-round and know which walls catch sun, stay dry or sit quiet on a busy weekend. That insider read on the rock, combined with a patient, instruction-first approach, makes them a go-to choice for anyone wanting to climb Squamish granite with confidence.
