Routes in Revelstoke

Up the dihedral/ramp

Up arête just right of overhung corner system

Starting with some tricky moves in the left facing corner, the climb moves onto bigger holds up the face.

Walk down or double rappel to get down

Starting below a rounded buldge, desperatly bash your knee/perform the silly salmon to gain the ledge. Now continue climbing the crack and left facing corner to the lip of the cliff.

Take care whilst clipping the anchor, as there is a distinct lack of an appropriate clipping hold.

Start at the left side of the ledge in the middle of the West Crag. Follow the left hand boltline progressing up and slightly left from the ledge.

Fun steep climbing on good holds

Sustained and excellent. To the left of the arête and to the right of a freestanding pillar. It goes up a right facing corner through the left side of a low roof. There may be a wooden engraved plaque with the name at the base

Follow a obvious crack up to the top of the first lip. Then move left up the arete to the anchors

Climb the line of bolts to the right of the big roof up to a belay platform (p1 5.10a). Use the belay station and bolt line on the right side of the arête, up through a couple of delicate moves (p2 5.10c). The left anchor that you see from the top of pitch one leads you up some very stiff climbing, best avoided for 5.10 climbers. An alternative second pitch goes left up a block and is the retro bolted second pitch to Blankness that goes at 5.9

Probably best route at the crag. Steep start on big holds. Two cruxes, one right at the anchor.

Left of corner system onto slab and traverse left below roof

Right of Octagon with Technical crimpy lower section. Some cams may help between the bolts

The second climb you come to on your left as you descend towards the river. Fantastic climbing through a juggy roof and onto a clever face

This climb starts below a small slopey overhang. While it seems natural to head right to the crack from the first bolt and around this overhang, it can be approached head on. From here head up the face to anchors on a ledge below final lip of the cliff.

Anchors are shared with "Nine Toes".

The leftmost climb of the middle fold at Shaketown. Several Slabby high steps to the anchors.

Start left end of diagonal ramp and straight up slab, or join the top of JB

Steep jugs to high quality quartzite slab, starting at the base of the ramp with steep juggy climbing at first

The leftmost face climb on the Left Wall, you can either start 2m to the right of the first bolt, and make the traverse back to the left, or head directly up to the second bolt.

Climb over the first small shelf and up the face to a ledge. A last sequence from the ledge up to the lip and anchors requires some high footwork that can be tricky for shorter climbers.

The leftmost route on the wall.

Go directly up from the belay platform and follow the bolts as they bear left

The birch tree no longer exists. Start just left of arete

The climb starts its namesake depression in the cliffface. Progress along a left trending quartz vein to a fun overhung mantle. The rest of the route is more slabby in nature, giving this short climb a variety of fun challenges.

Shares an anchor with "Little Sundance"

Bolted corner system.

Starts in a prominent crack to the right of "The Hole" and then follows a wave/depression in the rock to an anchor.

From 2.5m right of "Attack Cat", follow a series of crack systems up and slightly right to the ledge below the final lip of the cliff. Anchors on the ledge are shared with "Attack Cat."

Bolted on the face of the buttress in the middle of the Western Crag, the climb starts at the left of the arete and progresses onto the face higher up.

Shares an anchor with "The Hole".

Steep right-facing corner 15 meters to the left of "Undercover".

Start up he 10b GGWB but at roof go right across lip and then up to chains left of O.

Start up the groove and climb up to the ledge, aim for the leftmost anchors on the ledge

Climb a steep corner system left of the arête past a large roof up gently overhang face. A wooden plaque with the name engraved may be at the base

As a sport route: dangerously run out between 2nd and 3rd bolts. As a mixed route: one cam for the crack under the roof would be sufficient.

BD Cam .3-2, Mixed

Starts in the middle of the right-hand wall that faces the creek. Pre-clip the first two bolts under the roof and then proceed to climb the 3m roof and then continue upward to the bolt. There is a dirty slab section that protects the anchors. This route is listed in Revelstoke Rocks Guide Book as 12a, however this is definitely not a 5.12a climb and should be correctly graded as 5.11b.

This route is a combination of the first 3 pitches of 'Bon Voyage' and the upper section of 'Walk of Life'.

Climb arête more direct on second pitch

Fixed draws, OUT OF CONDITION (view send list for details)

Traverse left under the roof or you'll end up on a 12!

Right of Darkside, missing 3 rd bolt, though easier at that point. Up through right side of low roof then up face to ledge and up to slightly higher anchors than Darkside.

BD Cam .4-2, Mixed

3 meters left to "Schweppes"

+fixed draws

Starting 3m to the right of "Spider In The Tub" climb the overhanging face. Trend slightly left up the face to avoid ending up in the gully between the Western and Middle Cliffs.

The climb up the middle of the ramp with steep start to slab middle and buttress finish shared with NJPF
