Summary

Boulder field oasis

Description

Cyberia is likely the “premiere” bouldering destination in Victoria. It has a high concentration of quality problems, with a very short approach. Development started in the mid 2000’s around ‘04 or ‘05. One would think that given such a small area, most of the fine lines would have been climbed, but in the last year alone over 15 lines have been added to this area, and it seems there are still many lines left undone. The rock quality leaves some to be desired but it has a worse reputation than it deserves, and the rock on the problems in this guide (excluding the lines in the cave) is fairly good. Unlike the Duncan Boulders, or Squamish granite, it is very glassy and often low friction which creates an interesting style. Considering how few boulders there are in this area it is surprising how many quality lines there are, and being only 20 minutes from town, this area is hard to beat for short evening sessions.

You are climbing on W’SANEC land – respect that!

Left most bolted line Interesting rock and fun moves. Utilize stemming while in crack at bottom of the climb. Potential ground fall between 2nd and 3rd bolt, a diligent belay helps.
