Steep, overhanging boulder with small cave section.

'Kangaroo Point', affectionately known to locals as 'KP', is Brisbane's outdoor climbing gym. It is one of the most user-friendly crags around, with gigantic concrete bollards at the top of the 20m high cliff face for setting up anchors. Perfectly flat grass awaits your bouldering falls. Free barbeques lay in ready for your post(and pre?)-climb feast. Night lights allow you to climb into the wee hours of the morning. The river awaits your...hmm...actually, don't worry about the river. Caked-on chalk, climbers on top-ropes galore, a few chipped holds and bolts, bolts, bolts. Get it into ya! Since almost every square metre of 'KP' rock is utilised, the routes are of widely varying quality. The crag is most popular with top roping beginners who do low quality routes in the 14-17 bracket. Most of the better climbing is found on grade 20+ routes. The rock is Volcanic Tuff (like Smith Rocks in the US). The majority of routes are bolted face climbs. There are a few cracks around, but they are rare and not particularly inspiring. Generally, the rock has a quarried texture and is often sandy. The main wall of 'KP' is one long continuous face without any easily definable sections, the exception being the creekbed, bridge and vegetation of the waterfall which divides 'Left Main Wall' from 'Right Main Wall'. One quick way of orientating yourself is to use the numbered lightboxes spaced along the base at regular intervals. The climbs have been grouped into sections based on these lightboxes. Climbs in all areas are listed left to right. Many of the bolts at 'KP' are newer ring bolts (RB in the descriptions). There are also fixed hangers (FH), as well as some carrot bolts (BR) for which bolt plates are required. Most, though not all, of the sports routes have double bolt belays (DBB) for lowering off. Bollards and rings at the top allow for easy top roping, although a large section of the 'Right Main Wall' is inaccessible due to thick vegetation. Of note if you're planning to lead rope solo, there are bolted ground anchors at the base of 'Pass The Bosch', 'Prickles', 'Kiwi', 'Idiot Wind' and 'Pterodactyl' . There's also a bolted belay halfway up 'Kass' for practicing multipitch. The bolts are maintained by the volunteers of Safer Cliffs Queensland, funded entirely by donations from climbers. The cliffs face northwest and become scorching hot when the summer sun hits them mid morning, so climb early or in the evening under lights. Outside the summer months climbing is pleasant all day. The rock dries quickly after rain due to the direct sun. It's easy to be lulled into a false sense of safety at 'KP' with such easy access and all its facilities. However, it is still a cliff and falls of (often large) rocks occur not infrequently. Serious injuries have occurred. Treat 'KP' with respect and always wear your helmet.

Volcanic Sandstone infused with Quartz. Some problems date back to The 1970’s. The style is technical/powerful mostly over large bulges. Landings are generally very flat and the forest stays quite shaded and cool even in summer, all under 15mins hike from the Carpark.

Ravens Crag is home to Banff National Parks best water sculpted Limestone. The silver and black streaked walls are very high in quality, offering extremely cryptic, powerful, gymnastic, steep climbing. Expect interesting holds such as small crimps, powerful underclings, pencil pinches, high friction slopers, gastons, flat holds and sharp jugs of the sulphuric stone type. The first pitches are short because they pack such a punch!! The crag was first envisioned in the 90's by Peter Arbic with interesting holds throughout. In 2015-16 routes were all retrofitted with glue-ins as seepage can be a concern at this north facing wall. New development on Fun Club Ledge has popped up two new longer pitches. Alpine feeling indeed, taking in the view from these longer pitches such as Nevermore 12b being Uber classic. The Masque P2 as well as Telltale Heart P2 being the absolute Gem’s of the crag. Mega classic, airy and sandbagged. We recommend Telltale Heart P1 as a warm up. Bring a jacket as the crag stays chilly even in August. Look out for the big old boy, Raven who guards over the crag and enjoy, Banff's best sport climbing. Oh, yeah this is home to one of Canadas hardest climbs. ;)

One of Leavenworth's most popular bouldering areas. A lovely assortment of problems of all difficulties, and mostly nice flat landings. Don't be suprised to see big crowd's on peak season weekends.

This bouldering area is located on a flat plateau above Icicle road. Mad Meadows is one of the more popular areas in Icicle Canyon because there is a high density of quality boulder problems with a short approach. You will see some very featured and interesting rock in this area.

South East. All day sun. Sheltered from wind. Kid and dog friendly. Walk in time: 1 min. Walk in angle: Flat.

West. All day sun. Windy. Kid and dog friendly. Walk in time: 1 min. Walk in angle: Flat.

Probably shortest approach of any area on the North Shore, just step off the street into the shady woods. Good for a couple hours of convenient fun. The mostly moderate problems are located on three clifflets; see the North Shore guidebook for details. Landings are mostly flat.

The Glenwood Erratic is a large glacial erratic located about an hour and a half southwest of Lethbridge. The boulder is roughly the shape of a cube, about 18 feet high with a flat top and nice landings. The sides of the boulder are mostly vertical, so most of the 30 or so problems are in the easy to moderate range. Access The boulder is located on private land, but the owners do not mind people visiting it. Please be respectful so that bouldering can continue here. Seasons Spring, summer and fall will offer the best conditions. Early spring may you may find the tall side (northeast) a tad swampy as the boulder is located in somewhat of a depression.

A zone of high quality boulders that for some reason never made it into the Vancouver Rock Climbing Guide book. The problems lie approximately 150m south west from the Fifth Tier at Godman Creek and are likely the hardest boulders in the Godman area. The lines are tall and technical, but thankfully have flat and wide landings. South west facing and sparse trees make this an ideal location for quick drying rock or warm early season climbing.

Squamish-like boulders in the city! Park at the end of Lynn Valley Rd. Hike in by following the signs for the Lynn Loop trail. After about 1.7km of walking on a flat gravel path along the river, you will gain about 100m of elevation on switchbacks. At the top, just after you cross a wooden bridge, you will see a signpost labeled "Boulders" that points to a trail at your left. Follow it to a cluster of 2 tall boulders. Look for a trail, again on your left, heading north to take you to the rest of the boulders. The approach takes about 30 minutes.

Saskatchewan is known as the Land of the Living Skies. It’s home to a friendly, tough, hard-working people. They get strong playing hockey and working on the farm and are hardened by the long, -40 degree winters and never ending prairie winds. The land they work is some of the richest farmland on the planet but unfortunately it might just be the flattest as well. They say it’s so flat you can watch your dog run away for 3 days; which needless to say is not very conducive to rock climbing. Despite the top half of the province being made of granite, (known as the Precambrian Shield) there is very little to climb up there and so far almost no climbing has been documented. The only thing to climb in the bottom half is gyms, trees, and the odd glacial erratic (boulders carried and deposited by glaciers) in the middle of farmers’ fields. Saskatchewan has a lot of things to offer but unfortunately, rock climbing isn’t one of them.

With more tan 200 routes bolted and infinite possibilities remaining La Mojarra climbing park extends over one and a half kilometers in the heart of the Chicamocha canyon. The Cliff is made of red solid sandstone and offers a variety of traditional, sport and mixed climbing routes with a very high technical aspect, consisting of flat ledges in various sizes and angles, movements of finesse precision and strength. The geographical location of La Mojarra offers excellent weather, spectacular views and great climbing. Situated just 50 meters away from the REFUGIO, La Mojarra village, Municipio de Los Santos, Santander, COLOMBIA.

A good walk will take you to this less visited area with nice trad lines and a small bouldering wall with flat landing.

The great little slab got its name as it was being developed during the global Covid-19 pandemic. Almost 20 ft at its highest, faces south so it gets lots of sun. Nice flat landing, crash pads recommended due to the height.

Many additional problems can be found in the Campground Area, located just uphill of the campground. Although not covered in the guide, the problems here tend to feature positive edges, and have flat sandy landings.

From the parking lot this zone takes about 2 min to get to. It contains a number of great warm-ups, as well as a couple classic problems. The landings are flat, and travel here is quite easy. At the upper right of this area is an easy spot for crossing from the lower areas to those above.

A condensed area of boulders, stacked on top of each other offering a variety of climbing from Slabs to wildly overhanging boulder problems. Short approaches.. relatively flat landings around the perimeter, however due to the jumbled nature of the blocks landings can become a bit more challenging as soon as you move up off the main trail.

Lac Du Bonnet, located 115 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg sits on the west shore of the Winnipeg River and at the western edge of the Canadian Shield. Here you will start to see the flat landscapes of the prairies slowly morph into rolling hills littered with forests and lakes and yes, rocks. Reachable in only 90 minutes, the area surrounding Lac du Bonnet is the closest bouldering destination to Winnipeg with over 75 developed climbs and an abundance of undeveloped/undiscovered potential. This spot is perfect for the weekends you can’t make it Jones or echo, but you want to get your outdoor climbing fix. You can head out there at 10 am and still be home that night at a decent time. Perfect for those Sunday funday sessions.

A fun cluster of moderate grade boulders and they are only 15 mins from road. Most of the routes have rock free, flat, dirt landings letting you focus on your climb and not your fall.

Rodents ate the hand-drawn topo that used to be in the bucket up there, so crag photo provided below. All routes are accessed by rapping in - bring a jumar. Cold temps, sticky rubber, and good skin are essential! Most routes are still projects here. This wall is the diagonal, flat-looking face at the top of the hill above the Bayon, visible from the highway and at certain points along the creek. The climbing is pretty condition-dependent, so here are some tips to save you from hiking in and shredding your skin or otherwise just having a bad time: • The wall gets morning sun and afternoon shade. • It's relatively exposed and almost always gets strong wind, even when it's calm on the hike in. • Even in a light rain, the top of the wall will get wet. Keep in mind that this is your entry/exit route and it's presumably not a great place to be if there's a chance of lightning. • Just about all chalk will wash off the routes after a day of rain. • If you don't know what antihydral is or you're not a masochist, this might not be the crag for you.

A nice boulder all by itself out in Cougar Canyon by a pond. Landings are flat which is nice. I recommend using the Tweedle Dumb slab as a down-climb. As of July 2023 the boulder could use a good cleaning (quite mossy and dirty). Due to the pond there is lots of mosquitos so I would recommend some bug spray. Climbs range from V0-V5.

Norns Bluffs are a group of several granite bluffs just a couple hundred meters from the road near the confluence of Norns and Ladybird Creeks at 9km on the Ladybird FSR. The rock is excellent quality granite and features a high concentration of cracks, including a lot of moderates. Many of the crags are shaded by trees, which when combined with the higher elevation makes for a reasonable destination even in the heat of the summer. The approach takes all of 5 minutes and is mostly flat. Ladybird FSR is generally well maintained and a 4x4 is not required

This small boulder has the closest approach from the parking lot. It sports terrific rock, mostly easy climbs, and flat landings, making it a terrific warm up boulder for the rest of the sectors. All FA’s by Sasha Kubicek. See Aidan Nickel's guide for the topo and images

From: https://www.thecrag.com/en/climbing/canada/ontario/south-western-ontario/area/5387488632 Slightly overhung outcrop of surprisingly solid rock and interesting holds, with safe and flat landings. Almost all the problems are sit starts and eliminates (only use the hand holds in the pictures uploaded to each problem) and the foot rail is out of bounds unless stated otherwise. Climbs are labelled left to right facing the wall. Dry in the winter. Seeps during snow melt and wet after rain. Bug spray mandatory during the summer (marsh nearby).

Reno's Biggest Little Sport Crag. Owl Rock hosts a variety of sport climbs from 5.5-5.12 and it is possible to chase shade or sun all day long. The climbing here is fun! Incut and flat edges, pockets, huecos, aretes, and even the occasional crack characterize the routes. All bolted routes are equipped with mussy hooks allowing easy laps and toproping. All routes can be climbed with 10 draws and a 60m rope.

Nose Hill is a large park in NW Calgary. It’s has paved, gravel, and dirt paths with lots of hills, gullies, and large flat fields of native grasses. It is mainly scattered with small boulders but there is one that is big enough to climb on (Turtle Rock). This boulder is midway up a hill and easily accessible from the 64 Ave parking lot. This boulder is relatively easy on the front side but the back has some better surfaces to provide more of a challenge (most likely all climbs will be sit starts). The back side also offers some privacy and some nice grass to sit on. Unlike most of the sandstone in Calgary, Turtle Rock is a solid boulder (maybe limestone?) with a great view of the surrounding!
