Great White is a large west-facing cliff band located in Sunny Valley. This is a must visit when in Skaha. The sun rolls around and starts baking the cliffs between 1:30-2:30 in midsummer, allowing 3 seasons of sending. HHH and the intro walls feature some pleasant routes at a variety of grades. Painted Bird is the pick of the crop on this right side. Raven`s nest, despite some of it`s routes being less traveled is more than worthy of a sampling. Make sure to climb the mega classic Test of The Ironman. Teen wall is a huge 40 meter wall with some inspiring endurance routes. A short, angled slab at the base of the wall is the only drawback. If you are not too much of a purist and chipped holds don`t trigger you, make sure to check out the sustained and epic Air Test. In fact, almost every route one this wall has a healthy smattering of glue, enhancements, and manufactured pockets. If you put it in the back of your mind, the climbing offers awesome movement and lot of rock. Wings Wall is a beautiful streaked wall with a lot offer. Wings of Desire is a mandatory tick, with a hotly debated grade. Throw your vote in the hat whether it`s an 11b or 11c! It`s neighbors are some of the best 12+`s in all of Skaha. Despite being slightly overhung, don`t expect a techy cake-walk. Most have some powerful cruxes on nicely featured stone.

This area gets its name from the collapsed bird watching hut at the top, which overlooked the breathtakingly beautiful valley. This view is a contender for the best view in the area. Approaching from the trail you will see a fairly big hill, around the back are a bunch of boulders stacked on top of eachother. The easiest way to access the climbing is from the top of the hill. Go to the top and walk down the left side, then around the back. There is potential here for some really cool climbing,which would span some really unique styles. Such as finger locks, lay backing and hanus crimping. You just have to have a work ethic and imagination to see the lines. There is also the possibility of putting up a single bolt line at the tallest point. The area was first developed by Astor Fenoglio, Destiny Odway and Christin Sykes. Hit them up if you have any questions; they would love to share with you some of the crazy adventures they’ve had while developing this pristine climbing area.
The problems in this area are steep, powerful, enjoyable and tough. The most well known for the Top 100 Baby Cthulu V7 but also contains the Top 100 Mountain King Right V7 right doesnt see many ascents.
Please see Aidan Nickel's guide for info on Swamp Boy, the first boulder developed in this area. Info on Swamp Baby, a recent addition by Graydon Smith can be found here, including rough topos, photos, and descriptions. https://docs.google.com/document/d/18BAwlYck5Zb8Lg3sdUaWnTHXblvgGpGcDMwQ9ly5yxI/edit?usp=drivesdk
Located about 2 minutes before Swamp Boy. This low-ball boulder yields many options for beginner climbers or those looking to warm-up for the area, being even easier than its beginner-friendly sibling Swamp Boy, with great landings. https://docs.google.com/document/d/18BAwlYck5Zb8Lg3sdUaWnTHXblvgGpGcDMwQ9ly5yxI/edit?usp=drivesdk

Good stuff to climb in Kraft.
I'm back baby! Boulders in Squamish I want to do this summer. Hopefully these BPs will get me next level strong!
I'm back baby! BPs to help me up my game!
I'm a baby and these scare me.
Baby's first season of sending (hopefully). The goal? 5.12a. The reward? Pain & growth & hard-won self-understanding
it's gonna be GORGEOUS baby!! GORGEOUS!!
