Description Suggest change

Above most of the crags at comox lake, this area offers great views of the lake and forbidden plateau. It gets morning and late evening sun with some nice shade by midday. It currently has mostly easy/moderate sport and trad climbs that should suit beginner leaders.

Getting There Suggest change

There are two ways to access the crag. Both take approx 20 minutes and are uphill.

1. Park at the yellow gate just after the bridge near comox lake (same as for sherman boulders). Continue past the gate and follow the quad trail. Stay right at the first fork and then left at the second fork. This should take you up at traversing across the slope. At the first bench or flat spot along the ridge you can see a small waterfall with two small climbs on the left ( left line is a 5.7 and right is a 10C - both with bolted rap anchors), Continue up the slope and you will enter a clear cut where you can catch a glimpse of the crag in the distance. Continue up past the boggy section you will intersect the road. Continue across and up and the crag will be on your left.

2. Park near the boat launch and head to Right Wing crag. Stay left and gain elevation until you enter the cutblock. You should be able to see Upper Deck at this point. Walk a little ways into the cutblock then veer left toward the nurse tree in the middle of the cutblock. Once on the logging road take the next right after the pond.
