This section contains information on individual climbs that don’t belong to an area or the area is too small to warrant its own section. Remember the saying though, good things come in small packages. Many of these stand alone or small areas contain some of the best climbing in Lac.

Large rock formation with many multi-pitches in Thessaly, Greece. 6 monasteries stand atop massive pillars of rock and should not be climbed, however there are many other towers that are fair game.

This is a stand alone boulder just off the seward highway on the ocean side just past the Sea cliffs

The Island climbs are located on stand-alone rock directly in front of the main Class 4 climb down. To gain toprope access without trad climbing, one must jump across a gap onto The Island. Toprope bolts are located on the far side of The Island.

This is a nice stand-alone boulder located halfway up the Lynn Peak trail. It takes about 40 minutes to hike there from the parking lot, and it’s straight uphill. Problems listed counter-clockwise from the backside.

The remains of an old train bridge that spans the Jordan Harbour. The area consists of a few stand alone pillars and a few that are connected by arches. Mainly bolted sport climbs with one or two man-made simulated ice climbs. Area is described by Pillars & Arched Remains. Pillar One is the closest freestanding pillar, with numbers increasing further out into the water. The Arched Remains is in reference to the arch closest to the water. There is currently no information on if this area is open, closed, or private property. Information from this area has been pulled from rockclimbing.com. As of the time of writing the website is down, so information is being added here so that it isn't lost.

So far has 3 climbs on it. All 3 climbs share the same start. Diamond(V4) is the stand out climb and is definitely worth trying.

2 boulders that are right beside each other. Threat Level midnight(V2) is the stand out climb. It looks amazing and as soon as you see it you will want to try it.

Great stand alone boulder in the HAIRPIN sector of the Cypress Village boulders. Good problems.

A large stand alone boulder adjacent to the Lynn Valley Loop trail.

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.

Info and supplied photos by Glenn Reisenhofer Almost all problems are sit down starts and with the exception of some traverses all problems top out. Treat this place with respect. This was a spiritual meeting place for first nations folks. Please help clean up any litter. Thanks. North Boulder 1) Myles’ Mania-sds the north face. Don’t sneak off and onto the slab, go for the top. 2) Master’s Edge***-sds. Stay as close as possible to the true NE Arete. You’ll feel like Ron Fawcett. Watch out for the little brown bat crack. A classic old problem. 3) Fang**-sds up the east face on some crimpy sharp quartize. 4) Easy-sds up the SE Arete. A great warm up. 5) Fast Eddy*-sds up SW Arete. This is the beefier version of Jaime. Start with both hands on the only hold on the arête. Huck for the top of the arête and swing back left onto slab when you can. 6) Jaime**-sds to SW Arete using all the features. 7) Lao Tzu*-sds up west face. No arêtes or sides of rock are used. 8) Mantel Madness*-standing start to a pure mantel onto the west face slab of north boulder. 9) Neil’s Route**-sds up NW arête, onto and up slab. A good standing start warm up. An old problem. 10) Marc’s Ridge – Needs a sit down start. Grope the NW Arete as your feet traverse the north face of the boulder and top out on Myles’ Mania. 11) Black Rain*-a sds low traverse from the SE Arete (problem 4) traversing right to Neil’s Route. Using any holds below the overlap traverse with difficulty around the Master’s Edge (look for the little brown bat crack) and then continue with any hold below chest level to the NW arete. 12) Light Rain- traverse whole rock using the slab and any hold. 13) Mind Meld -***sds starting at the NW arête (problem 9, Neil’s Route). This problem uses and starts on the sloping holds that form the slab. Grope, grovel and heel hook your way to and around the corner (problem 6). Staying low continue with difficulty in between the rocks and finish on the problem Black Rain. Eat your wheaties before trying this one and of course you can’t touch the south boulder when traversing in between the two rocks. South Boulder 14) SE Arete***-sds climbs the beautifully rounded arête. 15) Crimpy**-sds up the middle of the east face (not using any arête holds). Watch your tendons as you’re crimping. One of the harder problems at Split Rock. 16) Fetus Freddy**-sds up the NE arête and up onto the east face. 17) Military Larry*-sds to a problem that starts in between the rocks close to Fetus Freddy. Layaways and edges to the top. The arête is out and so is the wall behind you. An old problem. 18) Three For One -another in between the rocks problem. If you come off on this one you’ll definitely hit the other rock and the holds are small at the top. Sds near the west side of the rock. The problem exists between the NW arête and the second, and more major, left facing ramp of rock. Aim for the tiny notch. The arête and major ramp are out. 19) Gaia – With a standing start grab any holds along the NW arête and head up with your feet on the north wall. Aim for the tiny notch. 20) Old Age Never Comes-start standing at the NW Arete and crank up into the dished slab on the west face. A sds would be very difficult. 21) Raw-start standing at the NW Arete (problem 20) and instead of climbing up, traverse and heel hook right until you reach the SW arête and ascend this. 22) Project for someone fit. Someone needs to ascend the west face of the south rock using neither arêtes. 23) Simon Parboosingh Power Hour*** Certainly the hardest problem at Split Rock. This problem ascends the west face with a sds between the south boulder and the MAD Traverse Boulder. Right hand starting on the sw arête and your left where ever you can and huck up the arête with your right hand eventually aiming for a small dish on the lip at the top of the west face. Watch the spine breaking rock behind you. The next four great problems all start at the SW Arete. 24) Slap Me Silly***-sds with a huck up and slightly right of the arete. Traverse left and grab the fin near the top. Continue left and up. A small dish (same dish as on route 23) at the lip helps execute the final move. 25) Mr. Kinnee***-sds. When Slap Me Silly goes left you go right and once you can properly stand on the large foothold on the south face head straight up. 26) Side Pull City**-start standing (some folks use the MAD Traverse boulder to start) and head up and right using only side pulls. This problem traverse the whole south face as it gently ascends. The crux is close to the very end. Top out on the SE Arete (problem 14). 27) Mr. Kinnee Does Side Pull City***-sds to the above problem. 28) Little Feet -sds the left side of the south face. Head for the thin edge where the plate of rock has been broken away. Use the side pulls near the top. 29) Sunday Morning After Church***- start standing with your right hand on a rounded hold just to the left off the SE Arete (most likely above your head). Left hand on one of the two small edges above your head. This problem has virtually no footholds. Toss up and grab the right sloping large edge at the top of the wall. Try to stick on the wall and head up and over. A very old route (even before sticky rubber). Can a sds be done? 30) Talking to Americans-sds on The SE Arete and with difficulty traverse into and top out on Sunday Morning After Church. 31) Fe Fi Fo Fum***-this is a traverse of the south rock starting and ending at the NW arête (problem 20). Start standing and ascend Raw. Sneak around the SW Arete and onto Side Pull City and continue around the rock back to the NW arête. Mad Traverse Boulder 32) The Mad Traverse**-sds at the west side of the small boulder that you can easily sit on. Heel hook you’re way around the entire boulder until you either burn out or are not small enough to continue. Great fun at the end of your bouldering session

ABC area/Gold Mine West. So far there are 4 boulders in this area but there is still a lot of potential in this area. It is the closest boulder to the entrance and has some great boulders for warming up. Some of the stand out boulders are Diamond(V4), Antics(V3), Threat Level Midnight(V2), and Antagonist(V1).

Quiet, forested dog walking and tennis (!) park in the middle of West Van, with very short access and somewhat limited but adequate parking. There are several rock walls (some seepy, some not) and quick-drying stand-alone boulders to choose from, lots of low-balls and a few high-balls. Upper west side problems dry the fastest. Cleaned by Corey Gauthier winter 2023/24. For map, topo and videos etc. go to https://www.instagram.com/mckechnie_park_bouldering/. Only recently cleaned so watch for loose blocks...
