"White Rabbit is a sharp and technical single-pitch sport climb on Harrison Bluffs’ East Wall. It weaves through a low roof section before demanding precise moves on potato chip edges, culminating in a rightward finish to the shared anchor with Red Pill."
Carving through the rugged rock face of Harrison Bluffs, White Rabbit offers a tight, technical climb that demands focus and finesse. This single-pitch sport route unfolds over 60 feet of clean, sun-baked stone, where climbers engage with sharp potato chip edges that challenge finger strength and precise footwork. Located just left of the more popular Red Pill route, White Rabbit begins by navigating a low roof, teasing balance and body tension before transitioning into a more vertical fight against gravity.
The East Wall Trail guides you through a well-marked forest path that opens into dramatic views of the Fraser Valley below, with the air carrying the fresh scent of pine and the distant murmur of the river. Here, the rock feels alive—textured and demanding, daring climbers to negotiate its subtle cracks and tiny crimps. As you press upward past seven well-spaced bolts, the crux appears near the top, requiring a confident move rightward to reach the shared Red Pill anchor.
Approach this climb in cooler hours of the morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday glare, as the south-facing wall can bake under the sun, making holds slick and testing your grip endurance. Bring shoes with a stiff sole to combat the sharp edges that await, and keep your chalk handy to tame sweaty palms. While just a short route, White Rabbit packs a punch with its sustained difficulty and rewarding movement. Perfect for sport climbers aiming to hone their technique or those seeking a focused outing amid the peaceful wilderness of British Columbia’s climbing scene.
After the climb, the descent is straightforward, with a single rappel from the Red Pill anchor back to the base. Always double-check your anchor setup and rappel gear, as some minor loose rock has been reported on ledges below. Harrison Bluffs stands as a compelling destination—offering accessible sport climbs framed by towering Douglas firs and sweeping mountain vistas. White Rabbit embodies this spirit with its blend of solid climbing and the raw pulse of wild nature, inviting climbers to test themselves on a route that rewards control and composure.
Plan your visit with water, layered clothing for variable temperatures, and perhaps a late afternoon snack to savor the quiet energy of the valley after your send. This is a climb that challenges yet embraces, sharp yet steady—capturing the essence of sport climbing in the Fraser Valley’s rugged heart.
Watch for loose rock at the bolt anchors and near the descent rappel stations. The approach trail is stable but can be slick with wet leaves in damp conditions. The sun-exposed wall can cause overheating mid-day, so timing and hydration are important.
Start early or late in the day to avoid the sun-baked rock on the south-facing wall.
Wear stiff-soled shoes to handle sharp, thin edges with precision.
Chalk up frequently—the holds can become slick with sweat, especially on warm days.
Always double-check your rappel gear and anchors before descent; some loose rock may be present near the base.
Seven bolts protect the route, spaced to accommodate confident sport climbers. Bring a quickdraw rack to clip comfortably through the well-maintained bolts with no need for additional traditional gear.
