Access Issue: Large Rockfall Details

There was a large rockfall from Yak Peak on July 28, 2022. The extent of damage to routes or which routes have been affected is not yet known. Until more information is known it's best to stay away from the area. This will be updated when additional details are available.

Description

Yak Peak is an iconic granite peak in southwest BC. Looming high over Coquihalla Highway 5, it's alluring for alpine climbers with a short approach and almost 500m of vertical climbing. Rock is granite, and solid for the most part, however those that know Yak Peak will also be familiar with it's personality characterized by two distinct identities. The first of which is solid and delightful to climb granite, with the second being chossy granite analogues to vertical kitty litter.

Getting There

From Highway 5, park at Zopkios Rest Area and walk east along the highway about 1km. A cairned trail leads upwards to the base in about 30 minutes/300m elevation gain.
