Description

South facing granite crag above a large talus field. Plenty of trad lines on the cliffs above and tons of bouldering potential in the talus below.

Getting There

From the inland island highway, take Strathcona parkway west. Turn right on the Duncan bay main logging road just after the parking lot. Drive for 10km and you'll see a spur road on the right a few hundred meters after the end of Wolf lake. From here you can go straight to access Maple crag and some boulders, turn left for the main cliffs and additional bouldering.

Climbing is accessed through 'Mosaic' managed forest meaning access is limited. See picture of sign for full access details.
