Access for 2008 and beyond has been the focus of a great deal of activity by a lot of people who deserve our thanks. The land purchase is pretty much done, but access and parking at the new site isn't going to be ready for 2008 so the use of Braeside for 2008 is big relief.

Description
One of the all-time great climbs at Skaha. A must-do.
The sweeping clean expanse of the great white wall is one of the largest faces in Skaha. This route follows a seam, crack, and series of features straight up through the gently overhanging wall, to a small alcove beneath a roof. Pull the roof, and you've only got to hang on for a few more meters to the chains.
This route has been lead on gear, which would make it a much more serious endeavor. Cleaning on rappell is difficult due the overhanging nature of the climb.
Location
On the left side of the Great White Wall, just right of Logan's Run and a long ramping corner climb. Begin by stepping rightward off a ledge, then it's straight up from there.
