Description Suggest change

A shaded 30m cliff just minutes from Nanaimo with great views up top of Nanaimo, the Strait of Georgia and Coast Mountains. Approximately 16 routes mostly bolted with some trad and mixed climbing. Very grippy basalt rock.

Getting There Suggest change

Access routes at end of Northwood road. Hike up gated logging road for approx 100m before finding trail on the right. Once on trail you should arrive at the base of the climbs in 10mins. There are many junctions, when in doubt, choose the path that takes you up.
