summary
For more information, go to sendage.com or ask a local.
description
Horne lake provides the best steep hard sport climbing on the island. If steep jug hauling and knee bars are your thing this is the place for you.
access issues
Do not camp in the climbing parking lot. It is private property and illegal camping jeopardizes access for all. There is camping down the road at the Horne Lake Regional Park, or a multitude of other discrete spots to park for the night.
If the parking lot is full, or you can't get your car up the rutted out path to the parking lot, do not park on the road. Park at the camp ground and walk up. Horne Lake road is an active logging road and parking on the road jeopardizes access for all.
Please also respect the fire closures which sometimes take place in July and August. Check the status of the access on the strata website (hornelake.bc.ca) before visiting during these months.
approach
Turn left off inland island highway 19 onto Horne lake road, follow this until turning right on Horne lake caves road. Drive for around 10 minutes and the car park will be up a rutted road on the right. (49.3558134, -124.7317307)

Sport climbing, Trad climbing and Top roping
Lat / Long: 49.116937, -123.963826
summary
Extension Ridge is a 5 km long, 30 meter high sandstone conglomerate ridge in south Nanaimo. It starts near Harewood Mines Rd in the north and ends near Virostko Rd in the south.
description
First developed by mountain bikers, the ridge has numerous trails along the ridge crest and along both bases, making access to the large amount of cliffs and boulders quite convenient. The rock quality varies from great to horrible, so route development is naturally focused on the former.
1.4.1. Prospect Crag 14 routes in Crag
- Summary:
-
Sport climbing, Trad climbing and Top roping
Lat / Long: 49.107124, -123.956074
summary
Sandstone conglomerate cliff at the south end of Extension Ridge. Named after the Extension Prospect coal mine (operated from 1940-1947), the entrance to which lies just 100 meters south of the crag.
description
The rock here is highly featured in sections and nearly blank in others. Generally intermediate to advanced climbing. The rock quality is fairly solid by Nanaimo Sandstone Formation standards, with micro-pebble style conglomerate, similar to Sunny Side. Some sections of the ridge are comprised of poorly consolidated conglomerate - these have been left undeveloped. The crag base is situated very close to a popular, well established mountain bike trail so please avoid leaving gear on, or belaying from, the trail itself.
access issues
As with the majority of the south Nanaimo area, this property is private and is owned by TimberWest/Mosaic. Several user groups recreate here - hikers, mountain bikers, professional dog walkers, dirt bikers - and have done so for many years without issue. Like other Mosaic properties that are used extensively by the public, continued access depends on responsible behaviour. Do not litter, leave graffiti, make campfires or cut down trees. Coexist peacefully with other user groups - we are all trespassing and no single group’s activity is any more or less righteous than the others.
approach
If coming from Nanaimo, take Extension Road turnoff from the old island highway in Chase River and head south. Turn right onto Extension Road. Then turn right again onto Virostko Road. Stay on Virostko for about 500 meters, drive through a small neighbourhood (please drive slowly - lots of kids, dogs and farm animals) until the road turns to gravel. Drive past the natural gas pipeline easement, then park in the obvious pullout on the left (see map in photo section). Walk up to the parallel logging road above where you parked. Turn right and walk on this for 50 meters to an obvious grassy pullout. Find the steep trail up a black slag pile, follow this for 100 meters until it intersects the mountain bike trail "Creeper". Turn left and walk along Creeper for 100 meters and the first climbs will be immediately on your right.
ethic
Climbers share this area with mountain bikers. Please be respectful and do not leave gear on or belay from a mountain bike trail. They were here first, and have been very accommodating by re routing one of their trails to make room for our belay area.
This is a newly developed crag and there are still several closed/red tagged projects. Please stay off these routes until they are completed. There are also a couple open projects - have a go!
history
The Extension Prospect coal mine was established near the end of the coal mining era in Nanaimo. It only operated for a short time (1940-1947), and many remnants of mining equipment can be found in the forest near the crag. The access trail to the crag passes one of the mine entrances, but it is considered dangerous to enter abandoned coal mines due to the potential for toxic gas accumulation. The trail that passes under the crag base is a well known black diamond mountain bike trail called Creeper. This 3 km long trail was established in 2020 and is still being expanded to the north, and will ultimately span the full 5 km length of Extension Ridge.
1.5. Nanaimo River 259 routes in Crag
- Summary:
-
Bouldering, Sport climbing and Trad climbing
Lat / Long: 49.072939, -123.906723
summary
Comprised of Sunny Side and Dark Side, this is one of Nanaimo’s oldest crags, with original routes from the late 80’s. Sunny Side is warm and best in spring/fall. Dark Side is shady and best in Summer
description
Sunny Side is fairly solid conglomerate, most loose pebbles are long gone. Dark Side is very solid sandstone and some of the best rock quality on Vancouver Island.
access issues
Private property. Leave no trace and play a low profile to ensure continued access.
approach
Nanaimo River is located 20 km south of the city of Nanaimo, and is best accessed via Highway 1. Approaches for each crag are in their respective areas.
1.5.1. Sunny Side 79 routes in Area
- Summary:
-
Sport climbing and Trad climbing
Lat / Long: 49.074244, -123.908195
summary
A south facing crag that gets sun almost all day, and is generally 5 degrees warmer than the surrounding area temperature. There are many separate walls, but they are generally quite close together.
approach
About 20 km south on Nanaimo, turn west off Highway 1 onto Nanaimo River Road. Drive past Wild Play and a large gravel pit to where the power lines cross the road. Park here and walk south past the yellow gate to the edge of the river (200 meters). Look for a set of wooden stairs that winds down the hill to the base of the first wall.
ethic
Do not climb here for at least 24 hours after rain. The conglomerate and sandstone absorbs water and is quite fragile when wet.
There are several routes at this crag equipped with top anchor hooks. These are to enable safe and convenient lowering only, and should never be used to top rope through. Never clip the hooks then climb above them, it is dangerous to do so.
history
One of the original Nanaimo crags, with the first lines being put up in 1992.
1.5.2. Dark Side 53 routes in Area
- Summary:
-
Sport climbing and Trad climbing
Lat / Long: 49.074170, -123.908996
summary
The Dark Side is an amazing gorge along the edge of the river that is like something from Jurassic Park. It stays damp until late May most years so is considered a summer crag.
access issues
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
For continued access to remain open, the most important thing is for all climbers to immediately stop using the trail that has been the approach for many years (we'll call this the "upper trail"). This trail is now closed and must not be used. Anyone using this trail puts all climbing at Darkside in serious jeopardy.
Instead, we've built a new approach trail (we'll call this the "lower trail"). To use the lower trail, start out from the parking lot as you would for the upper trail, but very quickly you'll see a sign that directs you to the right and down towards the river. Take this trail down wooden ladders to the river level and turn left. Proceed for about 100m and you'll see another sign directing you to a trail on your left, heading back up the hill into the forest. Take this second trail about half way up and you'll find a new trail (turn right) that will take you all the way to the crag. There are several signs along the way (see photos).
If you see any climber using the upper trail, please politely explain the situation and prompt them to use the lower trail from now on.
Thanks for being responsible community members. Our access to this beloved crag is in all of our hands.
ethic
Do not climb here for at least 24 hours after rain. The sandstone is porous and is very brittle when wet.
There are a few routes at this crag equipped with top anchor hooks. These are to enable safe and convenient lowering only, and should never be used to top rope through.

access issues
For the moment, the most important thing is for all climbers to immediately stop using the trail that has been the approach for many years (we'll call this the "upper trail"). This trail is now closed and must not be used. Anyone using this trail puts all climbing at Darkside in serious jeopardy.
Instead, we've built a new approach trail (we'll call this the "lower trail"). To use the lower trail, start out from the parking lot as you would for the upper trail, but very quickly you'll see a sign that directs you to the right and down towards the river.

Take this second trail about half way up and you'll find a new trail (turn right) that will take you all the way to the crag. You'll see a few wooden climbers signs at the beginning and then flagging.
If you see any climber using the upper trail, please politely explain the situation and prompt them to use the lower trail from now on.
We can't stress how tenuous the situation is. The new owner really is a good person but we need to do our part. MICA is also working with the owner to develop a free online waiver which will be mandatory for climbing at Darkside. We'll make an announcement about that when it's up and running.
Thanks for being responsible community members. Our access to this beloved crag is in all of our hands.

Lat / Long: 49.228031, -124.096884
summary
An impressive crag in the middle of the Lantzville Foothills. This and nearby Copley Crag are in an arid micro climate and tend to dry quickly after rain.
description
Comprised of a large main wall and several smaller secondary walls. Rock quality on face climbs is quite solid, but the cracks tend to be fractured and brittle. Take care with gear placements. NOTE - the entire crag was pressure washed in May 2023.
access issues
The crag and access trail are on private property, but the developer has committed with local government to set this area aside as park land. There are currently no access restrictions.
approach
DO NOT PARK on Tonnerre Way. This is a private drive and you may be towed. Park at the bottom of the hill on Halsall Terrace (a public road), on the gravel shoulder. Note that ongoing house construction in this area makes the parking situation ever changing. Walk about 50 meters up Tonnerre Way and find the flagged trailhead on the west side of the road, cutting up the steep gravel bank and into the forest. Follow this good trail for about 300 meters until you emerge onto a gravel road. Turn right on this road, follow the curve up and over a small rise, and after about 200 meters, a small sign on a tree on your right “The Steppes” will appear. Follow this trail for 100 meters, then take a short branch trail on the left. The crag will be obvious from here. Total walking time of 10-15 minutes.

summary
A small, shady north facing crag in the heart of the foothills. Rock is mostly solid basalt.
description
As of spring 2023, there are 3-4 climbable routes, the remainder are overgrown.
approach
Park at the end of Vipond Road. Hike up the gated gravel road for 1 km to a large open gravel area with some old logging equipment in the middle. Head toward the road that leaves this open pit at the right end, but just before the edge, look for a secondary road that forks to the left. Look closely for a sign “Heikkala Canyon Road” in one of the trees. Follow this rough gravel road up a gentle uphill grade for 2.5 km as it winds up the valley, then at a T intersection, turn left onto Van Sickle’s Waltz (unsigned). Follow this road for 1 km. Stay straight (left) at the first intersection. Then at the second intersection, with Pon Dick’s Greenline (look for the sign in a tree), walk another 50 meters and watch closely for an indistinct road branching to the left. Walk up this side road into a large open grassy area. At the back right corner of the meadow, look for the “Bear Ridge” sign marking the trailhead, and follow the flagged trail for about 300 meters to the crag.

- Summary:
-
All Sport climbing
Lat / Long: 49.223363, -124.000827
summary
A sport crag with an impressive overhang than runs from end to end. The routes are fairly short and mostly in the 10+ to 11+ range. The monster overhang in the center remains unclimbed.
description
The climbs on the left are somewhat overgrown, while those on the right have remained fairly clean. Plans are in place to clean the crag in 2023. All the climbs on the left are missing one or more lead hangers. The climbs on the right are intact.
approach
Park at the dead end of Linley Valley Drive, near the yellow gate and the entrance to Linley Valley Park. Walk down the gravel path and after about 50 meters take the branch trail on the left. This trail will curve to the left and after 100 meters will tee into another trail, go right here. After only about 200 meters on this new trail, watch for a small trail on your right winding down into the forested gulley. Take this trail for 50 meters and the crag will appear ahead of you.
1.7.2. Logger's Lane 7 routes in Crag
- Summary:
-
All Trad climbing
Lat / Long: 49.222120, -123.994390
summary
A small forested crag with mostly trad routes. The crag sits in the Tanya Extension portion of Linley Valley Park (City of Nanaimo). There are at least a dozen other possible undeveloped routes.
description
The wall faces North and is heavily forested, so it tends to be shady and cool. Pretty much a May-September only crag.
approach
Park at the dead end of Tanya Drive. Hike down the gravel road and at the first fork (about 100 meters from parking), go left (down hill). Follow this trail for about 400 meters, past a swampy lake on the right, go over a wooden bridge, and you will come to a T intersection. Go right here, and after only about 50 meters, you will see the crag through the trees on the left. The trail is poor so you may have to thrash through the undergrowth to get to the wall.

Lat / Long: 49.161793, -124.038316
summary
Mt Benson is a 3300 ft basalt peak that dominates the western skyline of Nanaimo. A large portion of the mountain, and most of the established rock climbing, sits within Mt Benson Regional Park.
access issues
Regional District of Nanaimo recognizes rock climbing as an activity in the RDN parks and trails master plan, therefore climbing access to all crags on Mt Benson appears to be secure for the foreseeable future.
approach
There are three main approaches. For Northwood, Longview, Lower Benson and Upper Benson crags, park at the end of Northwood Rd. For Wakesiah Wall and Witchcraft/Dawg Wall, park at the RDN parking lot near the end of Benson View Rd. A third approach to access the crag at Westwood Ridge starts at the Westwood Lake beach parking area.

Lat / Long: 49.162769, -124.052346
summary
One of the first crags on Mt Benson. Consists of two walls (A and B), a couple hundred meters apart. There are several legit two pitch climbs on A Wall. Best crag top view in town.
description
There are 7 first pitches and 7 second pitches on A Wall, but not all of them work together as two pitch climbs. These climbs are about 50/50 trad/sport, on very solid basalt. B Wall stands by itself a little south of A Wall, and has 7 climbs, mostly sport. Neither wall has a great belay area at the base, but B Wall is the better of the two. B Wall also has excellent top access to the left of the cliff, but A Wall’s top access is very challenging. Two rappels from trees are required just to reach the top anchors of the second pitch climbs. A 70+ meter rope is absolutely a requirement for climbing on A Wall.
access issues
This crag falls inside Mt Benson Regional Park. Rock climbing is officially permitted in the park.
approach
Park at the Mt Benson Regional Park lot on Benson View Road. Follow the main gravel path out of the parking lot, over the small bridge, then go to the right, walking along the full length of Witchcraft Lake (10 min). Just before the end of the lake, take the trail heading uphill, with a small creek to the right of this trail. Cross a split log bridge (good landmark) then continue to follow the trail uphill. The trail will steepen, then cross a couple drainage gulleys as it traverses right. At the biggest drainage gulley, the main trail (to the summit) will stay left of the creek, while the trail to the crag crosses the creek (look for pink flagging), then traverses up and right for another 5-10 minutes to the base of B Wall. To get to A Wall from here, follow the trail along the base of B Wall to the right end, then drop down a steep goat trail for 50 meters to pick up a lower traversing trail. Follow this another 100 meters to climbers right to the base of A Wall.

Sport climbing and Trad climbing
Lat / Long: 49.155296, -124.012477
description
This crag faces southwest so gets direct sun most of the day. The crag consists of two cliffs, left and right. The left wall has little tree coverage so has no shade and can be quite hot. It has a reasonably flat belay area among a few large mossy boulders. These routes stay fairly clean, with some lichen growing on the less popular ones. The right wall is much shadier due to tree coverage, with a steeply angled belay area. These routes are dirtier and getting overgrown.
access issues
This crag abuts Department of National Defence lands, specifically a firing range. It is not uncommon to hear distant gunfire while climbing here. There are very old, rusted signs at both the bottom and top of the crag, near the edge of the crag on climbers’ right, that forbid trespassing. Only a few climbs at the extreme right end of the crag appear to be actually on DND property.
approach
Fastest approach is now from the main parking lot for Mt Benson Regional Park, near the end of Benson View Road. From the parking lot, hike south (left) along the Outer Bypass trail. Use the All Trails or Trail Forks app, or the map in the guide book, to get on the mbk trail The Saddle. Head south on this trail and watch for a small sign indicating the crag trail on the left. Total approach time 20-25 min.
history
The original crag in Nanaimo, and one of the first sport crags on Vancouver Island. The first routes were developed by Ray Hawkes in the late 1980’s. Be forewarned that these original routes are boldly bolted.
