I'm headed to Victoria, in July and am looking to get some sport climbing in. I'm leaning towards Mt. Wells because it is close to Victoria and I'd appreciate tips from people familiar with the area. Are "Rock Climbs of Victoria" or "South Island Select" helpful to supplement bcclimbing.com? Have any other South Island sport recommendations? Anything with ocean views? :) Thanks!
Hey! If you're into facebook check out the Vancouver Island Climbing and Mountaineering group. If you're looking to head up to Horne Lake (highly recommended) you can usually find partners on the Nanaimo Climbing Crew facebook group. Enjoy!
There is sport climbing with ocean views on nearby Saltspring Island, just a 35-min ferry ride from Swartz Bay, Victoria. Minimal approach once you drive to the top of Mt. Maxwell, but it may be difficult finding a guidebook.
