White Rabbit at Murrin Park

White Rabbit is a compact but rewarding sport climb tucked within Squamish’s Murrin Park. This single-pitch route stretches over 30 feet, offering a blend of sharp bouldery moves and smoother slab cruising that challenges climbers right from the start. The opening corner section demands precise footwork and body tension across two well-placed bolts, pushing your power and balance before easing into a sequence of ledges and rails that steadily gain elevation. Despite its brief length, the climb feels dynamically varied, making it a compelling option for climbers seeking a quick yet technical project. The protection relies on three bolts, with a bolted anchor perched just beyond the reach of a wide, comfortable ledge—a reminder of the route’s evolving nature after a large block was removed, shifting the anchor’s position and requiring a bit of reach to clip safely. Murrin Park itself is a vibrant climbing destination, carved from towering granite monoliths and forested surroundings that frame every ascent. The approach is straightforward, and the route often welcomes climbers looking to sharpen their sport climbing skills amid the area’s breathtaking landscape. Timing your climb for morning or early afternoon ensures favorable lighting and rock temperature, especially during the shoulder seasons when the wall holds its warmth but stays free from excessive moisture. Essential gear includes a light rack suited to sport routes and a quickdraw for each bolt, with sturdy climbing shoes to navigate the initial crux and technical slabs. Whether you’re dialing in your technique or ticking a classic Squamish sport climb, White Rabbit rewards with focused moves in a setting that combines challenge and natural beauty.

Climber Safety

The anchor is placed above a generous ledge but requires a stretched clip, so take extra care during your last bolt clip to avoid awkward falls. The rockfall that removed the original block means less protection near the anchor zone; always check your placements and remain vigilant.

Local Tips

Best climbed in morning or early afternoon for optimal light and warmth.

Approach trail is well-marked but be prepared for a brief rocky scramble at the crag.

Shoes with precise edging are crucial for the initial bouldery moves.

Watch for moisture on cooler days; the rock can feel slick near the start.

Route Rating

Difficulty
5.10d
Quality
Consensus:The 5.10d rating suits the route’s early crux—small holds and delicate body positioning in the corner push the grade. The slabby ledges that follow feel significantly easier, making the first moves the crux where effort concentrates. The grade is accurate for local standards and a fair test for those honing skills at this level.

Gear Requirements

Bring quickdraws for three bolts and a personal anchor for the fixed belay. Lightweight rack recommended; the bolted anchor sits just above a spacious ledge, but the clip is slightly stretched due to prior rockfall.
