Description

A nice wall close to the parking. Despite being west-facing, the left-side of the wall has enough tree cover to remain shaded all day.

The trail along the base of the cliff does reach the top of the cliff near the right (south) end.

Access issues inherited from Waterline Walls

The area has been purchased by The Association of West Kootenay Rock Climbers. It is open as of July 20, 2020. Visit https://tawkroc.org/ for more info and to sign their waiver.

Approach

From the gate, walk a few minutes, then turn left at the obvious climbers' trail and TAWKROC sign -- the cliff is visible from the wide multi-use trail.

Descent notes

Rappel or lower from anchors.
