Routes as sport in Canada

Joins up with Long Shot at the third bolt.

A real classic. Climb the overhanging arete up the right side of the cave, then up onto the face and to the anchors.

The most sort after 12B at Skaha. And for good reason! If the tons of mini cruxes don't pump you out, the final move to clip the anchor surely will!

Shares a start with 'Revenge for the Fires'. Follows the bolt line on the right after the 2nd bolt.

A juggy start into some crimpy holds. Finished with an easy runout.

Fifth line

Climb up the slab to the right of the brown streak to a high anchor.

Old guide book said "A couple finger sized cams might be useful between the first and second bolt". New bolts have been added to fix this issue. Look at how beauty the purple Quartzite is!

Beautiful long climb with a nice variety of moves at the grade. Start at the flake (at about the height of the first bolt). Follow the crack and finish on some moderate but delicate slab towards a bolted anchor with rappel rings.

Starts from the "A" Dance Ledge (to the left of the gully) which has two bolts + rap rings to belay from. Climb the bolted line about 1 m to the left (leftmost of the three bolted routes). Two rings for lower-off.

Climb the short dihedral to the roof. Escape roof to the right then trend left and up though the black water stain on pocket crimps into easy rails to the anchor.

A significantly harder variation goes 11+ if you pull directly though the roof at the first bolt and stay on the black water stain.

From the start of "Welcome to the Machine", which is the right-most route accessible from the safety rope, follow the edge of the wall up and right until you reach a line of bolts proceeding up an angular corner. (If you continue up and right, next line of bolts is "Wish You Were Here", which is significantly harder.)

Climb the corner, pulling out left onto the slab at the top. Then angle back right above the corner and up to an anchor.

Can top-out, but leaves a bit of an exposed scramble at the top - not recommended.

Everyone's favourite warm up. Climbs up the fun jugs, crimps and sidepulls to a short and fun crux up higher. If only it was longer...

A few metres left of Slab O'Doom 2.0 start up the a small bulge to holds just left of a small platform. Step left from this onto a slab then up beside the roof of Dave, Dave -- keeping the crack to your left. Pull up into the centre dihedral, climb this, then finish at the Dave anchor.

Recleaned and bolted in April 2021.

5m left of Perspective. Follow the bolted line up a steep thin slab to rappel anchors.

L1 5.7 s, 4B 16m Départ sous le toit, à droite de la terrasse avec le grillage. Relais optionnel avant le dièdre. L2 5.9/5.10a s, 10B 22m Grimper le dièdre pour passer le toit par la droite. WOW!! Il est plus beau de combiner les deux longueurs en apportant une longue sangle d’extra pour le premier relais. Après le relais du toit, il existe une dernière petite longueur en 5.8 de 8m avec 3 bolts. Mais celle-ci est moins belle.

Last bolted route on the cliff.

Left most route on Bob's Wall

Roadside Right, eighth from left

One of Nemo's best climbs at the grade. This is the bolted line a couple of meters right of Cat's Tail. Climb the face right of the arête, and the face above, until you can get a closer look at the large roof. Take a deep breath. Exit the roof using the obvious crack. Fight the pump to the top.

Une belle voie de difficulté continue qui vous amènera au relais sommital. Prière de garder la voie propre.

Climb over a left facing flake and finish along the edge of the roofs. Some down-climbing or traversing may be needed if rappelling/lowering off a 60m rope -- tie a knot in the end.

Start at the bolts on the bottom and follow the technical line to the top. A nice warm up for harder routes.

A bit shorter than Right Popsicle Twin. This is the first route left of the big corner (the popsicle twins and Vuvuzela are on the wall at climber's right).

Climb up a flakey left facing corner. Crimps on top will cause hesitation before cruising to easier moves that lead to a small roof. A larger roof guards the anchor.

Great afternoon out. 6 fun pitches.

Pitch1 40m 5.6

Pitch2 25m 5.9

Pitch3 25m 5.8

Pitch4 25m 5.9

Pitch5 25m 5.8

Pitch6 50m 5.7

Départ sur la gauche de la dalle dans le coin pour remonter jusqu’à la vire.

Climb up onto some slab and clip a high first bolt, then pull up onto a big ledge. Follow the bolts up some slab, then a dihedral then more slab to the finish.

Roadside Right, fourth from left. Direct start is fifth from left. Shares start with Cutblock.

Everyone knows this one. The best 10C in the Bow Valley. Enjoy varied climbing on jugs, crimps and side pulls to a pumpy finish and a funky move. Absolutely classic

Climb the 'Seal Cove Traverse' out to the notch. 'Sole Mate' starts just right of the belay station and heads up on small cracks and sticky slab. Fun Climb!

pad up the bolted line just right of center.

Far-right side before the gully

Located behind the pinnacle inside the "Alley". Starts on the 2m "step". Follow the right set of bolts.

Follow the slab directly up using the ledges. Crux is between the first and second bolt.

The lovely crack that starts right facing and curves to almost vertical along the right side of the front face of the cliff. Bolted recently.

Follow the bolts up the slab.

Alternative start may include stemming up the boulder

Bolted crack line to the right of Nemesis. Moves right at the top.

Great climbing on the arete left of Where in the World is Carmen Pelligrino, all bolted until the chains.

Petite sortie de toit qui pompe, mais se lever dans le dièdre du haut n’est pas donné non plus.

Start just left of Karma Points under the small roof. Head up to jug rail and pull directly though the roof onto the slab and up the slab. Finish on Karma Points at end of slab. Dihedral on right is completely out. Contrived eliminate. Has 2-3 great moves though the roof. Jug under roof on left is tempting, loose and not required as pinching the corner above is enough.

Shares Karma Points bolts. Suggest pre-cliping second bolt to avoid potentially serious swing.

A route that was recommended by Gripped Magazine as a must do! Amazing holds, feet and rests for the majority of the climb. The crux is the exposed bulge with extra pumpy moves, bad feet and a fight for the finish.

Both Korn-erred and Nice Bulge share nearly the same start with Korn-erred being the left option that follows a more prominent crack system with a more overhung start.

This climb is above the lower (right) end of the main Grand Canyon wall.

From the bottom of the canyon, hike along the small trail rightwards, until it doubles-back (with fixed rope) up some 3rd class slab, as you would if you were going to set top-ropes for the main Grand Canyon walls. As you finish the roped slab, and come out near the top of the first climbs, look right (down into canyon is left) and you will see a bolted anchor, and bolts heading up from there. This is where the climb starts.

1. 5.8 (32m) Thin slab past the first couple bolts, then straight-forward climbing to an anchor on a ledge.

2. 5.8+ (25m) Traverse left along the edge to an obvious right facing corner/crack, up this over a small roof, as the crack widens to off-width to anchors up top.

Enjoy the view.

Descent: rappel the route, but if rappelling on a 60m rope, use the anchors directly below the crack of the 2nd pitch, rather then the anchors used during the ascent (climber's right of the crack/corner). Else, you may run out of rope getting to the base.

High first bolt to the left of the two trees. Even throughout for the grade, with multiple different types of cruxy elements. Delicate traverse on small holds, awkward balancy mantel, small crimp face climbing.

Slab between crags, avoid holding/stepping on them for full grade, I've been told 5.10b although feels more 10a

Great and varied climbing.

Up the arete. The first climb reached on the approach.

Great consistent 10c climbing into a great rest spot then a 11b crux to the finish

Heads up the longest section of wall in the area.

Very cruxy start onto the wall to the first bolt turns into a solid climb with plenty of jugs.

Départ du côté droit du devers. Il est possible de sortir tout droit sur l’arrête, ou sur la face en allant sur la vire à gauche (un peu plus facile). Une 12 assez accessible, et donc assez populaire comme intro au niveau 5.12

Fixed draws

Very nice route with a few rock overs in the beginning and middle. Ends with a slab.

Same start as Instant Classic. Goes straight up.

The next climb right of Lubo. Climb towards the same corner as for Lubo, continuing up the arete and to the anchors.

Traverses right after first bolt.

Grimper le dièdre noir.

Climb the black-stained dihedral, generally trending leftwards.

Face climb along the corner of the boulder. Small ledges up and a layback to finish.

Paddock Wall Right, second from left.

This arete also known as Arete Dreams is a fun route difficulty depends to what side of the arete your climbing climbers right of the arete is closer to 10a on climbers left 5.9-
