Approach: From the Shapeshifter Boulder get back on the main trail until you reach a large, gravel trail. The path on the right will go downhill, going left will go uphill. Go left and uphill. You will see a municipal sign. Turn right at the sign. Take the next bike trail on the left and head uphill (there is a more direct trail behind the municipal sign but this trail has been closed by the park). Bank back towards the left. After 5 minutes of hiking you should see this isolated boulder. NOTE: This is a difficult one to find. If you find the Kamigoye Boulder, it is almost easier to back track. The boulder faces downhill.

NOTE: Currently the big boulder in the center with problems 1-7 (detailed of pages 29-30 of the guide) has been painted to look like a huge Tyrannosaurus Rex head on it with a sign saying 'No climbing' next to it. This essentially seems to apply to problems 1-4 as it's just that side of the rock. EDIT: As time has passed the T-Rex has faded quite a bit and the 'no climbing' sign is gone. I'd ask Mike about it but it seems like it may be fair game again.

From Canmore, take the Three Sisters Parkway up past the Nordic Centre to Whitemans Pond. Continue along the gravel road (Smith Dorrien Trail) to the beginning of the Spray Lakes Reservoir. Turn right following signs to West Spray Lakes Campground, continuing to follow the road as it bends left farther into the campground. After 1.5km there will be a large grassy pullout on your right with a sign “Trailhead Parking”, park here. There are two spots to begin hiking. The first can be accessed through the “Trailhead” parking lot by taking the obvious trail leading from it. The second is accessed by walking farther down the gravel road until you see a “no parking” sign on a gate. Follow the trail behind the gate. This is the faster route and will skip a steep hill. The trail winds through the forest following a creek for most of the hike. After approximately 2.5km you enter a rocky clearing with a waterfall on your right and the boulders easily visible to the left. Take the last small section of trail through the band of trees to access the boulders. A trail continues up and right of the boulder field; it leads up to the old goat glacier. Hikers frequent the area to view Old Goat Glacier up in the higher valley.ogistics The total hike time is around 30min. With 200m elevation gain over the 2.5km it makes for an easy hike. Three good sized pads and a decent spotter will let you climb almost all of the problems. More pads will be a necessity on some problems, while very few require less than three. Almost all of the boulders face north, and hardly ever come into sun. Most of the slab climbs get morning sun, and the entire valley becomes shaded around 4-6 PM. Once past the upper Grassi Lakes parking lot, cell reception is lost. So keep this in mind when planning your day. **Please note the campground is closed from mid-September to mid-May** **The hike will be 1.5km or about 20min longer during these times.**

http://www.revelstokerockclimbing.com/grags_victor_rrock.html How to get there Coming from Revelstoke: Drive along the Trans Canada highway (Hwy1) towards west (Vancouver). Once you crossed the Columbia River Bridge and reached the turnoff for Hwy 23 S (traffic light), start counting the kilometers as you keep driving west along Hwy 1. At km 13.8 you come to a paved truck pullout, directly in between the highway and Victor Lake (second lake west of Revelstoke). This is a good place to park your car. Please do not park at the gravel pullout 280 meters east, dangerous for oncoming fast moving traffic. Coming from Vernon, Kamloops or Sicamous: Drive along the Trans Canada Highway (Hwy 1) towards east (Calgary). Once you are past the prominent red hotel at Three Valley Gap, keep driving towards east for another few kilometers. This will bring you across a bridge and further to the Victor Lake (third lake east of Sicamous). Park at the prominent paved truck pullout. Approach From the paved truck pullout in between the highway and Victor Lake walk for 280 meters along Hwy 1 towards east. This brings you to a gravel pullout (don’t park your car there). Cross the highway to its north side (caution fast driving cars and trucks). There walk along an overgrown road for approximately 80 meters towards east (historical wagon road from Sicamous to Revelstoke). From this point, walk up the steep trail to the base of the Victor Lake Wall. For the routes "Return of the Osprey", "Trans Canada" and "Pan America" branch off to the right shortly prior the actual wall (sign). For all other routes keep following the main trail aiming straight up and slightly climber left. 15 minutes from the highway. Descent for all Victor Lake Wall Routes From the top of the Victor Lake Wall walk down the marked trail towards west and eventually in south direction. This brings you within 30 to 35 minutes back to your car at the Victor Lake and the Trans Canada Highway. Just as on the Squamish Grand Wall or any route on Yamnuska, bring a super light pack and light approach shoes, climb one of the many grand routes and after the climb enjoy the quick walk down back to the highway. The Goat Ledge The Goat Ledge is the prominent large ledge separating the entire upper wall from the lower wall. The Victor Ledge allows climbers to bail from any route as you walk towards west, along this large ledge to the Ninth Symphony / The Mission. After you arrive at the fourth belay anchor of The Mission, rappel straight down the lower part of the Ninth Symphony and the Baldwin Start. (35m, 30m, 28m, 28m). In between Return of the Osprey and Restless Spirits is a fixed rope.

A beautiful erratic with an overhanging face and some slab. It is marked by a sign post as you cross a bridge.

[Area guide](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ieJob95IGgNQkCpK5_5aiCq97Ni-6ATs6rpPgtObCXk) • Step 1. Getting to the Hartland landfill When leaving Victoria head toward the ferries. Before you head up the last hill out of town there is the Royal Oak exit. Take this exit and then turn left and cross the bridge over the highway. After crossing the bridge you will hit your first set of lights. Go straight through this intersection and then take a right at the next lights. The road you will be turning onto will be West Saanich road. Follow this road for quite a while until you seen Hartland road on your left. Turn onto this road and follow it until just before you head into the dump. There is a big parking lot at to the right off the road. Pull in there and park. • Step 2. Getting to the boulders Once parked, follow the mountain bike trail to the left of the road. You will follow the fence for a while and then pass the skills area. Next you will head downward and cross a creek and then climb a small hill. At the top of the hill you'll want to take a left onto one of the bike trails. Follow this trail for about 7 minutes until you hit one of the small clearings. There should be a big piece of scrap metal beside the start of the trail. Take this trail down the hill. This trail will join up with another trail. When this happens, go right. Follow this trail for about 10 minutes along the lake. After passing the lake you should start to see the start of the bouldering area off to your left. Keep heading down the trail, always keeping to the left. After crossing a couple logs the trails will take a sharp turn to the left and you should end up a the overhang wall.

Across the river (south end) on the west side. pretty much encompasses all the boulders south of that mini peninsula. cross the river however you can. Seasonal High water can make it difficult to cross. Best in July to Sept after runoff is done. Stays shady more than other parts because of Turtle Mountain.

Approach: From the first bridge, walk another 2 minutes until you reach the 2nd wooden bridge (made out of fire wood blocks). Cross, and keep hiking for roughly another 3 minutes. You will see another creek crossing with a small plank to help you get over the creek. If you cross the creek and then leave the trail to the left in less than 30 meters you will see the Swiftsure Boulder on the other side of the bank.

Approach: Once you cross the 3rd ‘bridge’ (this is a singular plank that is nailed to some fallen logs), walk another 50 meters until you see an old metal cable on your right and a massive log that has fallen over the creek. Cross at this location to reach the Shapeshifter Boulder up ahead. What does the boulder look like to you? A sleeping fox, a rhino head, a cloud…?

Climbing at Carver requires a membership with the Carver Climbing Club, as it is located on private property. Ask at the Portland Rock Gym or Circuit Bouldering Gym front desks for more info or sign up here: [http://carverclimbingclub.org/](http://carverclimbingclub.org/) Climbing without this membership is damaging to access for everyone! The landowner has threatened to cut off access more than once. Please don't endanger this local resource. Portland's most convenient bouldering area is located about 30 minutes from the city center. The style is slick, technical, powerful climbing on small, rounded boulders with awful holds. Often burned as a tiny area, Carver actually has quite a few good problems buried under moss and disuse. Brushes (nylon, never wire!) and a sense of exploration and discovery will serve you well here. If you're looking for bigger, harder problems, with a more remote feel, you may wish to check out Bridge of the Gods.

*** these multi-pitch climbs are Mixed climbs of Sport AND Gear*** http://www.revelstokerockclimbing.com/grags_colbuttress_rrock.html Approach to base of Columbia Buttress The Last Tango, The Noose and Eternity From the intersection Hwy 1 and Hwy 23 S drive for 3.1 km along the Trans Canada Highway (Hwy 1) towards west, across the Columbia River Bridge and past the traffic light of Hwy 1 and Hwy 23 South as far as the Canada West Campground. There is a small parking area on the north side of the highway. Park your car there. From the parking area walk 50 meters towards north to a Columbia Buttress sign. There leave the road to the left (west), follow the well marked approach trail to a narrow rock gully. Now walk for the final few minutes up this rock gully to the base of the climbs. All routes start at the same base bolt. 20 minutes from highway. Approach to top of Columbia Buttress The Hanging Judge and Convicted Drive: From Revelstoke drive along the Trans Canada Highway (Hwy 1) towards west, across the Columbia River Bridge to the traffic light at Hwy 1 and Hwy 23 South, 900 meters from western access to Revelstoke. From the Hwy 1 and Hwy 23 South traffic light turn right and follow the Westside Road for 3.8 km. There turn left and drive along the Boulder Mountain Logging Road for 10.6 km (check topo). This brings you to a road pullout and a turn-off leading to the left. Park your car there. Trail: From the road pull-out and turnoff follow the narrow turn-off road leading to the left (south) for 400 meters, to a small parking area with a great view over Revelstoke and the Columbia Valley. From there walk along a well marked trail in southerly direction, downhill to the tree line. There keep following the trail downhill for 50 meters where you will find a cedar tree with two clothing hooks. Leave your pack there, as The Hanging Judge and Convicted are topping out at this point. Now keep descending the trail to the rappel route for The Hanging Judge and Convicted. 10 minutes from the parking area.

Pot of Gold is the first wall you encounter on your approach into Unicorn Canyon. The wall, easily identifiable due to its yellow and orange hues, faces southeast and gets morning to early afternoon sun. To get there, follow the Unicorn Canyon trail until you see the unambiguously labeled sign, which is labeled "Pot of Gold.” Climbing here is characterized by positive holds on vert rock and a mandatory rotten voyage to the second bolt.

Was once a quite and secluded area from the main populace where you could find quiet and not many climbers ... ... Chippewa Creek Gorge was formed by glacier movements thousands of years ago. These glaciers exposed outcrops of Shale, Berea Sandstone, and Euclid Bluestone. In the late 1800s the Berea Sandstone and the Euclid Bluestone were quarried for use as building materials. This ended in the early 20th century due to a decreased demand for natural stone for construction. Brecksville Reservation was declared a public park soon after. In the late 1990s the first information about climbing in the park was posted to another rock climbing website. Problems were put up and documented by that generation of climbers, but not everything was posted back then, and the website ended up becoming defunct. Legal access to the park for climbing was problematic. There was a high risk of getting your gear confiscated by park rangers. Around this time, Jeffery Bonatti created a series of hand drawn “Ruff Guides” for the park, but they weren’t highly accessible. Due to this lack of organized information, each subsequent generation of climbers claimed FAs and gave names to lines that have likely been claimed and named multiple times before throughout the years. To add to this, the moss and lichen covers boulders that don’t see much traffic and makes it look like they’ve never been touched. The creek changes the sand bars and covers or reveals footholds and washes away evidence of being climbed. Currently, the park is more accessible and more developed for climbing than recent history. There is a trail being made by the park system going from the main Gorge Rim trail down to the creek where Pinch Arete and Keyhole are. Due to the volume of climbers that have been recreating in the park, it no longer feels sketchy to walk in with pads for a session due to power of the masses. On any pleasant day you can fully expect to see other people climbing. Work is being done to organize the lines into a definitive list with proper photos, names, locations, and grades. On the topic of conditions, many problems have had holds broken off in recent years due to being climbed when the rock is still wet. The boulders in the creek itself are much more tolerant to this due to many years of water erosion, but the rock higher up on the cliff line isn’t used to this kind of stress and breaks surprisingly easy. Surprising like, wow I’m falling but the hold is still in my hands, surprising. It usually takes a solid three days of dryness and wind to get back into shape after a good, longer in the spring and winter. The main parking area for climbing access is the Pavilion area at the East end of Chippewa Creek Drive. It isn’t the first lot by the waterfall, it is ~1000ft down the road, where there are four parking areas grouped together with a swing set and a pavilion. If you walk straight North from the swing set you'll find the chained entrance to the climbing trail with a sign that states “Stay on the designated trail.” Stay on designated trails.

Approach: If you are headed along the trail from Quote the Raven, approximately 50 m before the left hand trail up to the Sabotage Boulder of the Green Destiny Zone, there will be a pretty well defined mountain bike trail on your right. After 1 min you should see the hand-made “Electric House” trail sign. The trail will twist and turn for about 5 mins. Once you start to see the corner of the gravel pit, and before the trail trends uphill, look to your left for a wall. Hike the faint trail through the salah to the base of the climbs.

ƛ̓əpustoʔas is the Lik̓ʷala name for "place to climb up", and was kindly offered as a name for this cragging area by the local Ligwilda’xw people. Just 20min north of Campbell River, these lovely andesite cliffs (hard, grainy basalt), offer climbs that are mostly near vertical or tilted a little bit either way. The majority are fully bolted lines, but there are some worthwhile gear lines too. There are over 30 pitches of climbing so far, from 5.6-5.12, with the majority being in the 5.9-5.11 range. There are many 2-pitch climbs, as the crags are each around 50m in height. They face SW, so are excellent Spring/Fall and cooler summer day cliffs. Thanks to the Ligwilda’xw people; the We Wai Kai, Wei Wai Kum, and Kwiakah First Nations. We are grateful for the opportunity to recreate on your lands (the crags are located on "Crown" land). Thanks go out to the many climbers who have lent a hand in route work, trail work, sign-building, and route testing ;)

Vancouver Island is the 43rd largest island in the world at approximately 500km long, 150km wide with an area of 31,285 sq km. It lies off the west coast of British Columbia, Canada from where it is reached by an extensive ferry system from mainland ports. The island is shaped a bit like a squat triangle with the southern half running north to south and the northern half jutting more to the west. The majority of the towns and cities are dotted along the east side of the island at the southern half. The northern half of Vancouver Island and the mountainous interior is largely rugged wilderness crisscrossed by extensive industrial logging roads. A few paved highways cross the island to smaller west coast communities such as Port Renfrew, Tofino, Gold River and Port Alice. For the climber, Vancouver Island is a great destination. There are a number of well developed cragging and bouldering areas and vast resources of high alpine climbing. A good overview of the sport climbing areas can be found at: www.wildisle.ca/islandclimbing/vancouver-island-climbing-areas.html The rock is mostly volcanic basalt and ~75% of the climbing is on this rock type. It is generally solid with good friction but lacks good, continuous crack systems so most of the crag routes on the Island basalt are bolt protected or mixed bolt & trad. There are also areas with limestone - Horne Lake, granite - Constitution Hill, sandstone - Duncan boulders and conglomerate - Saltspring Island. Vancouver Island has exceptional alpine climbing with a very active core of local alpinists adding new routes steadily. Look for a comprehensive guidebook to the Vancouver Island mountains: Island Alpine Select from Wild Isle Publications: http://www.wildisle.ca

Park by bridge. Walk along the road for a while, then cross the rails when you see a small path on the other side of them. Walk up the hill and you will see a big rock.

The first wall up the hill from jackpot roof, you’ll have to cross over a massive fallen Douglas Fir and then head up and right and switchback your way up to the wall. You’ll see draws hanging on Return of the Regulator

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.

For free topos, photos, and all the info you need, visit www.revelstokebouldering.ca The boulders are found West of Revelstoke on the EAGLE PASS FSR (forest service road) off of the trans-canada HWY # 1. From the main intersection accessing Revelstoke (Victoria/Laforme and HWY 1) you must head West towards Kamloops on the HWY. You will cross the mighty Columbia River and reach the intersection for HWY 23 South/Westsyde RD. (also a set of lights) - this is where you restart your odometer!! Continue past the intersection for 7 km's and until you have JUST passed the second set of passing-lanes from town. Use the shoulder of the HWY to slow down and turn RIGHT onto Eagle Pass FSR. *If the road dead-ends in 100 metres, you've turned on the wrong road and turned too early!* The Eagle Pass road will perform switch-back immediately and climb up the slopes. Once you have gone 700 metres and you have crossed a dry creek (if your lucky) you will have reached an area to park at the edge of the Cut-block on the left. Pull-over and Park. From parking you will continue up the FSR 20 metres to the P-Boulder and trail-head marked with Cairns on the right side and upwards on the mountain-slope. Note: FSR 20 has been refurbished. You can park at the apex of the first switchback and walk along the gravel road for about 500m before it turns to a faint trail that leads you to the Warmups Area. Note: Bring a large brush and bring your friends to this area, with some love it can be a great bouldering spot!

Past redcliff a few miles, right exit by the barn, cross the bridge, park on the right once the road forks. trail is on the right, boulders on the left after about 5 minute walk

The fourth free-standing pillar. Awkward to access. Either use a boat or, if water level is not too high, it may be possible to rap from steel bridge and cross a strip of land to pillar. Exit by ascending rap line or tyrolean from pillar top to bridge. There is also a rusty cable that runs between pillar one and pillar four. You may be able to shimmy along this, but this hasn't been tested.

BRMC is crown land offering cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking and mountain biking trails. This are currently only a couple developed boulders, but has potential for more.

Park at the Humber Bridge parking. Cross the Humber bridge towards Sheldon Lookout. There is a grouping of small boulders with one that is clearly the tallest. Be aware that by climbing in the park you are technically violating at least section 608-6A of the Toronto Municipal Code. You may approached by public service officers and asked to stop.

A couple km's east of chase is a small pullout just after the gas station in the west bound lane. From the cross the road and head uphill towards the power lines. There's a few boulders below the scree field in the forest. The best boulder 'widow maker' is located near a small pocket of birch trees beneath the scree field.

Brian Head Peak, Village and Ski resort offer a lot of recreation opportunities. In winter there is the ski resort as well as cross country skiing. In the summer there is hiking, mountain biking, camping and climbing.

One the latest cliffs to undergo development at the Moose Mountain Crags. It’s another small stand alone satellite cliff. As it’s name suggests it’s found on the eastern bank of Canyon Creek. The cliff face rising directly above of the creek bed. The last sector described in this update. Canyon Creek usually only runs wet during spring runoff or after large thunder storms. These factors could make this venue an issue to reach, climb, or belay during these wet periods. Use sound judgment before trying to cross the creek if water levels are up go elsewhere. Have a look from the road (looking down) to assess creek conditions before you need to commit.

Approach: Stay on the main trail and continue for roughly 50m. Before the small waterfall (approx. 1 foot tall) and creek, turn right on a dirt trail that takes you downhill. Near the lowest elevation of this trail before the wetland, turn right and go off-trail. Cross the creek wherever possible. Start heading back up hill for 2 minutes and the tall, approx. 16 foot tall face will be visible.

Approach: If you are looking at the Peaceful Atom Boulder, turn left and hike until you reach a small creek (< 50 m). Cross the creek and stay relatively low on a faint trail (you should stay below a small out crop on your right). After approximately 50 to 70 m you will be directly under the outcrop. You should be close enough to the wetland on your left to see the skunk cabbage

Approach: Difficult to describe but travel down the same side trail you use to access the Peaceful Atom Boulder. Instead of making a right hand turn, keep walking straight. The trail will go through a mudded area with lots of roots. You will go up a slight rise and then head back downhill. At the bottom of this small rise, make a right hand turn on a side trail and then cross a creek. Walk the trail for a couple minutes and the boulder will be on your right. This wall is maybe 15 m long and definitely has 3-4 lines, but it was too crumbly for the developers to invest a lot of time into. Maybe you will want to develop it or try some climbs. Exercise caution!
