"Chucky Chucky Four Corners offers a sharp blend of technical starts and juggy rail sequences on Squamish’s Playground wall. This accessible yet engaging 50-foot sport route demands precise movements and rewards with a satisfying finish along a sweeping ramp."
Chucky Chucky Four Corners invites climbers into a concise but rewarding test of technique and composure on Squamish’s Playground wall. This one-pitch sport climb, stretching 50 feet, demands attention from the very first moves. Starting with small incut holds that challenge finger strength and body positioning, it quickly shifts to a more open sequence, rewarding with solid jugs along a prominent rail. After clipping the fifth bolt, the route veers left onto a broad ramp, easing the physical strain while keeping focus sharp until the top. The wall’s texture is rough but reliable, giving precise feedback underfoot and hand. Despite its brevity, it delivers a balanced mix of technical climbing and sustained effort that keeps the mind engaged and the muscles warmed.
Located on the Mamquam Forest Service Road, within the Playground area south of Squamish, this route sits in a bright, accessible pocket of the coastal range. The approach is straightforward, leading climbers through lightly forested trails that open to granite faces warmed by the afternoon sun, making early afternoons ideal for ascending with good grip and dry rock. The crag offers a taste of Squamish’s famous granite with plenty of fixed protection, suited especially for those wanting a reliable sport climbing experience with a bit of technical interest.
Gear-wise, bolts are well-placed to protect the route, offering confidence but still encouraging smooth movement and careful clipping on that initial tight section. The protection anchors are secure, and the route’s single pitch makes it an excellent pick for a focused climb without the commitment of multi-pitch logistics. Climbers should bring a 60-meter rope to comfortably reach the anchors and have space for maneuvering during the climb.
Approach times are minimal, with well-marked trails from the Mamquam FSR parking area leading directly to the base. The terrain is mostly stable granite slabs and gentle dirt paths, with minimal elevation gain making it accessible for a quick outing or a warm-up to more demanding routes nearby. A light jacket might be needed in early spring or late fall when coastal temperatures drop, but summer brings pleasant dry conditions.
Squamish’s unique blend of rugged wilderness and developed climbing facilities means that Chucky Chucky Four Corners is a solid addition irrespective of experience level—challenging enough to feel earned but accessible to those with basic sport climbing chops. The route’s flow and variety within a short distance highlight the area’s capacity to offer rewarding climbs without the need for extended time on the wall. Whether targeting a quick session or preparing for longer days, this climb’s blend of movement and exposure invites you to engage deeply with the rock and atmosphere.
Be mindful of the initial bolts’ spacing during the small incut moves—falls here can swing climbers into the wall. The rock is solid but slick when wet, so avoid climbing after rain or heavy dew.
Start early to avoid direct afternoon sun which can heat up the rock.
Double-check quickdraw clips on the tricky initial moves to save energy.
Wear finger-friendly climbing shoes with precise edging capability.
Bring a light layer for cooler shoulder seasons as the approach is shaded in early morning.
Well-spaced bolts protect the route, ensuring a safe ascent through technical finger locks and jugs. A 60-meter rope is recommended for comfortable clipping and anchor reaches.
