Description Suggest change

Wall 3 (east side from right to left) is believed to have the only known established rock routes in this canyon. South facing, and only 5 min from the highway. These 4 routes are on 4-5 star granite. Walls 1,2,4-10 are west facing, walls 11-20? are east facing. There is a new logging road to access stuff further up, or for the top of wall's 1-3. There is potential for a lot of new stuff here. The lighter color rock is a bit scaly, and unweathered so it needs a bit more attention than the darker stuff.

Getting There Suggest change

Everyone has seen box canyon. Somewhere between Hope B.C. and the Coquihalla summit look north. At no water take the creekbed to an obvious place to exit, somewhere near the base of the wall(sorry for the Bruce Fairley description!). Otherwise boulderfield.

camping

Suggest change
There is a decent place to camp down the hill, around the corner to the left for a few hundred meters at the abandoned quarry.
