Routes in Cheakamus Canyon

Uncleaned with ropes hanging

Amazing technical climbing down low leads to a rest with good holds and big moves to finish.

15 minutes from the lower Chek campground. Follow the flagging tape trail then cross a mossy talus field, following cairns.

1. 5.7 30m - Climb over a slight bulge and cruise to the next anchors.

2. 5.8 15m - One tricky move at the beginning

3. 5.8 15m - a little bit of fine ledging at the beginning. Slope becomes more shallow near the end.

4. 5.6 15m - a very shallow slope. Almost walkable.

5. 5.4 30m - very easy finish. maybe one move where you need to use your hands. Walk through the forest to find p6. Flagged well.

6. low 5th, 10m. Relatively simple climb. Has 3 bolts but not necessary.

Follow flagging to walk off along the ridge. In 15 minutes, you arrive back at the campsite.

New multipitch to the right of Ursa Minor. Bring 14+ draws.

P1. 5.7 15m 6 bolts. Climb the cracks and bulges to the ledge. P2. 5.9 26m, 11 bolts. Pull the initial bulge from the anchor (crux) then up easier ground above to the top.

Top-out for a nice flat peak with gorgeous views.

Start on MOMD and traverse right into Serenity Now.

Bolted as two very short pitches:

P1. 5.10c 4 bolts, 8m. P2. 5.8 4 bolts 8m.

Can easily be linked.

Climb rounded bulges.

Start on 'Hindsight' and just below a small overhang, traverse into 'La Femme Makita'

Tough bouldery start to more moderate climbing above.

Jump to the first hold!

Start with a layback climb into a really nice crack.

Follow the flake up the slab onto a bunch of ledges, then head left out of the gully.

Climb up a slab into a slight overhang. Climb up onto the ledge and finish with a solid climb.

Slabby start turns into tricky climb over ledges and finishes with crimps.

Directly right of the moss covered section. A fun climb using flakes and cracks all the way to the finish.

Easy climb to an inset area. Tough boulder over the overhang into a slabby finish.

Climb the triple roof

Head right down the hill from "Charlotte's Web". Climb is left of the appraoch path from the car park. Smooth face climb with a couple of tricky scrambles over some large ledges.

LH route off the ledge/ramp left of Bullet, where the approach path meets the wall. Balancy wall climbing on excellent rock.

RH route off the ledge/ramp left of Bullet, where the approach path meets the wall. Climbs direct through the crack in the overlap at mid-height

Climb the not-so-steep face right of "Pissed Off" at the top of the gravel slope.

Start up "Strange Days" but traverse right (bolt to protect) to Funkytown at the 5th bolt.

flake to intriguing face climbing

Perma-draws. Very nice athletic moves.

Very easy climb with lots of boulders to climb on.. This climb starts where the trail does a sharp 180 going back up towards "Small is Beautiful"

Start up the the horizontal ledges and scoops and up the slab. Gets steeper near the top.

The climb is well bolted but the belayer should keep the rope tight on the last few bolts as there is a bit of a ledge.
