Anderson River Group Rock Climbing

As of summer 2018, mountain bikes or dirt bikes are useful for aiding in the slog up the final few miles of road, currently impassable to cars. High clearance and a saw still recommended to get there.

Make your way to Hope, BC. Continue north on Highway 1 for 27 miles/43.5km, where you cross a large bridge over the Fraser River and take an almost immediate sharp right at a powerline pole in a maintenance yard, possibly marked with an "N" or signed "Nehatlatch". Reset the odometer to zero.

1.7 miles/2.7km - veer right, heading downhill.
3.8 miles/6.1km - go straight through the gate (may be locked, but unlikely as the timber company no longer operates up here to my understanding)
7.0 miles/11.2km - steep left at a wide open intersection. The road narrows and climbs steeply through open clearings and a few switchbacks.
11.5 miles/18.5km - cross big bridge, take a left at a T and soon cross a second rickety bridge.
12.1 miles/19.5km - as of summer 2018, the road is impassable here due to several large washouts and fallen boulders. Park, grab the bikes/start hoofing it. Generally ignore the first couple spurs you see.
13.7 miles/22km - trend left (most well traveled)
15.1 miles/24.3km - trend right on a spur road marked with orange flagging and initially overgrown at the start. If you start to climb steeply and see the valley to your right end up behind you, or end up in a clearcut, you've gone too far. This spur is overgrown and it's hard to believe it was driveable within the past couple years. Soon reach a large stream and a big washout, crossable on a good log. The road makes a big s-curve before a clearing appears on the right, with a fire ring and a great view of the surrounding peaks. This is the "trailhead". You'll begin hiking through the slide alder tunnel, overgrown road 610.
