If you want to sport climb, some of the walls at Chek can stay dry in light-moderate rain. The Circus and Forgotten Wall come to mind, but there might be others I'm not thinking of. Chek is a little ways north of Squamish on Hwy 99.

Thank you! I'll check out those areas!
How fast does it dry? If it rains Saturday afternoon, are we good to get on routes like skywalker or diedre on Sunday?
Maybe someone who climbs in Squamish more frequently can chime in, but I believe the Chief and Shannon Falls are both W/NW facing, meaning they get the most direct sun in the afternoon, so you may need to wait a few hours for them to dry off.

I'm not a regular but was just in Squamish. Single pitch cliff areas like the Smoke Bluffs and Murrin Park will frequently have individual cliffs that dry quickly after the rain. The Apron, being low angle, will tend to be wet for a while. But it can easily become dry enough to climb after half a day.
