Description Suggest change

A substantial area with a mixed bag of climbing. There are a couple two pitch climbs and a 50-50 mix of trad and sport climbs. Not necessarily the best quality rock in Skaha, but it's convenient and still has a few gems in the 5.9 to 5.10 range.

Getting There Suggest change

A stones throw to the left (south) of Lower Red Tail.
