Summary
Granite
A series of short seaside stacks, about 5 metres in height, in a truly beautiful setting.
Description
Dries quickly
Morning sun
Many of these routes are either climbed as top rope climbs or boulder problems. There are no anchors on any routes, so climbs are either finished with a walk-off or protected with tree anchors. When anchoring to trees, please be careful with the arbutus (ideally, don't anchor to them at all), and ensure your anchors are situated as low as possible on the tree trunks. The trail above is frequented by day hikers, and anchors may create tripping hazards.

Allowed
When approaching, please be mindful of private property nearby. The Stacks are on forestry land.
