Family-friendly wall with grades from 5.7 to 5.10b. With panoramic views of Castlegar and fun 30m routes, you may ask your belayer to let you take it in before coming back down.
On Terrace Road, park about 300m up along the wide shoulder. There is an obvious path across the road up the grassy slope. The trail takes you up to a plateau where you'll cross a long ditch where a gas line runs. There is a path that continues on the other side. The path becomes steep again as it cuts through thick brush. Once through you should find yourself at a grassy bench with the Grad wall in front of you.
Be mindful of wildlife, especially in more remote areas.
