Homeless presents a focused, challenging single-pitch sport climb situated in the heart of Squamish’s well-known Courtyard area. The route starts alongside Dirtbaggers but quickly veers left after the third bolt, leading you onto a distinct nose-shaped prow that demands precision and steady movement. At 60 feet, the climb packs intense technical sequences within a compact, vertical frame, rewarded by the textured granite’s reliable friction and a clear line of bolts that both guides and protects your ascent. The granite itself feels alive under your fingers, coarse yet confident—inviting you to engage fully with every hold and reach.

Located along Mamquam Forest Service Road, the approach is straightforward but remains mindful of mountain biker traffic and forest conditions. Ambient sounds of rustling firs and distant water flows punctuate the climb, infusing the setting with a touch of wilderness just beyond town’s edge. As you climb the nose feature, the wind develops a soft whisper, as if nudging you upward toward the summit’s small ledge. The rock’s angle and formation allow for a balanced fight—muscular enough to challenge, but not so uncompromising as to discourage steady progress.

Homeless demands climbers bring a confident 5.10d skillset, with technical footwork and a calm mindset especially valuable on the tricky moves in the crux section just above the fork. The bolts are well placed, offering dependable protection, although spacing requires repeated vetting of body positioning to avoid swinging falls. With only a single pitch, it’s an excellent commitment for those looking to sharpen sport climbing tactics or test their strength on compact but sustained granite.

Summer and early fall provide the best climbing conditions, with morning shade softening the heat on warmer days. The area’s latitude and forest canopy create a natural ventilation that keeps the rock dry and adds to the sense of solitude despite the proximity to Squamish’s bustling climbing hubs. For safety, climbers are advised to wear sturdy shoes with solid edging and carry enough water—hydration is quick to deplete amid the physical effort and the forest’s dry air.

After topping out, rappelling down is straightforward from established anchors. Quick link gear and a double-rope system make for efficient descent, avoiding any backsliding or rope drag along the granite face. Whether you’re tick-listing or honing technique, Homeless offers a rewarding climb that blends focused athletic movement with a raw connection to Squamish’s rugged outdoor spirit.
