"Peeler challenges climbers with a dynamic 50-foot ascent on gently overhanging rock, balancing bolt placement and pump in Sea to Sky’s Stump Wall. This compact sport climb is a rewarding test within a stunning natural setting."
Peeler offers a focused burst of climbing intensity over 50 feet of gently overhanging rock at Stump Wall, located within the Rehabilitation Projects area of Sea to Sky corridor. This single-pitch route demands a steady pace as the holds and bolt spacing subtly lengthen, pushing climbers to manage their pump carefully while ascending a pronounced bulge. The rock feels alive here, its angled surface daring you to power through with precise footwork and calculated rests.
Approaching Peeler, you’re greeted by the raw character of Squamish’s coastal landscape—trees whispering in the breeze and the distant hum of the surrounding wilderness. The route’s bolts are well placed, five in total, providing reliable protection but spaced enough to keep your focus sharp. The climb’s 5.10d rating reflects a climb that is athletic and sustained, challenging even intermediate climbers to refine their technique and stamina.
The chain anchor at the top marks a clean finish, allowing for a safe and straightforward descent or descent rappel. Climbing Peeler rewards you with a feeling of accomplishment and offers a gateway into the quality and diversity of Sea to Sky's sport climbs. The route’s moderate length means it fits perfectly for those looking to invest in focused training or simply enjoy a punchy climb within a day of exploring the scenic corridor between Squamish and Whistler.
The stainless bolt line cuts through the rock’s natural expression without dominating it, emphasizing a balance between natural movement and protection. It’s important to come prepared with climbing shoes that stick well on smaller holds and stay hydrated, as the pump from the longer clips will test your endurance. Early spring through fall presents the best conditions; the rock remains dry, and the weather cooperative enough to make the ascent smooth and safe.
Whether you’re refining your sport climbing skills or hunting for an accessible yet challenging climb, Peeler provides a concise, rewarding experience rooted in the Sea to Sky region’s dramatic outdoors. With its focused challenge and scenic backdrop, this route embodies the practical thrill of climbing within reach of major outdoor hubs.
While protection is solid with five bolts, the increasing spacing requires careful clipping to avoid pump-induced falls. The chain anchor is stable but always double-check slings and carabiners before descent. Be mindful of rock conditions after wet weather; the surface can feel slippery.
Start early to enjoy cooler morning temperatures and less crowding on the wall.
Footwear with solid edging abilities is essential to manage the pump on the longer reaches.
Bring at least one quickdraw longer than usual for clipping bolts higher on the bulge.
Ensure your chalk bag is accessible and use chalk sparingly to keep grip consistent.
The route is protected by five well-spaced bolts, with steady increases in clip distance requiring controlled movement and endurance. A chain anchor anchors your topout for safe rappelling.
