Lake of the Woods Bouldering

A couple of moves into Gigo-low V9

Description 

LotW is a massive boulder field/slide on a beautiful lakeside setting. This is the largest area in the Fraser Valley with thousands of boulders, many of which are house size. At this point there are only 100+ problems, but the potential is huge. This is the future of bouldering in the Valley.

Getting around is a bit of a problem when first visiting the area. There are no trails as most of the travel is done by boulder hopping, but you'll be moving around quickly once you become familiar with the area.

Getting There 

Take HWY 1 east from Hope for about 2 mins. You will see a lake with a parking area on your left. Park here and hike back along the HWY on a trail that runs parallel to the cement barriers. You will see a trail that drops into the tip of the boulder field. Start hopping.
