Description:

A new area bolted in 2020-2021, has a wide selection of grades from 5.9 to 5.13. The style is mostly slabby to slightly overhanging technical and crimpy routes, but there are a few steeper lines with plenty of jugs. All routes are climbable with a 70m rope, but tie a knot in the end of your rope for the longer routes for safety. Routes are designed to be stick clipped. Wearing a helmet is a good idea since this is a newer area, and it is Moose after all.

At the peak of summer, the wall gets about 1 hour of sun in the late afternoon. All other times of year it's sending temps (ie, cold).

Directions / Travel Info:

About 4.0 km up the road from the parking lot, just past the turn off for the dust bowl, there is a grassy clearing on the left. This is just before going up the next big hill. Take the path through the clearing and down to the creek. Cross the creek and locate the trail heading up through the trees. The Cove will be on your left as you emerge at the top of the trail.
