(a) Another Buttress

International > N America > Canada > British Columbia > Okanagan > Skaha Bluffs > (b) Red Tail Group

Description

A popular crag with a nice mix of bolted and traditional lines in the 5.6-5.8 range. Shady throughout the day, so it's a good destination for those summer scorchers.

Getting There

If you are approaching from the lower parking lot, stay on the lower trails and it's the last crag on the left before the signs and "stairs" up to lower red tail and the turn-off to the wave. It's the first crag you reach if approaching from The Wave or descending from Red Tail. Approximately 20 minutes from the car.
