(a) The Terraces

International > N America > Canada > British Columbia > Okanagan > Skaha > (j) Grand Canyon

Description

The Terraces are host to a couple of Skaha's 5.10s: Life in the Slow Lane (5.10b) and Snarling at the Greeter (5.10b). They're also quite popular now, so be careful with your timing. A bit further up are some harder routes and a warm-up or two.

Getting There

Take the upper trail from the upper parking lot. After a 5-10 minutes you'll pass by the right side of Diamondback. Don't jog left at this point - stay on the Grand Canyon trail, following the signs when appropriate. Eventually you'll see that you're starting down the left side of a canyon, and soon you'll pass right through the base of The Terraces, which will be on your left.
