Description 

This crag near Vernon, located in Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park, offers a surprising amount of sport climbing at a range of grades. The rock is Schist and once cleaned reveals texture and variety that make for climbing that might even be more interesting than Skaha.

This area is mentioned in the BC Interior Rock guidebook, but has seen so much development since its publication that the book really only serves to get you there. A more up-to-date document is available at Valhalla Pure in Vernon.

Getting There

In the mean time, this excellent map shows how to get there: http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/kalamal/kal>>>>>
