Description Suggest change

With 26 routes and a 30 second approach this crag is as convenient as a climbing gym. All routes are roughly 8-12m long. For the routes on the near side of the bridge you get the river right beside you to jump in between routes if it gets too hot. Longer draws or slings are recommended for many of the routes on the far side of the river as well as slings to extend some of the top anchors. Also there are lots of deep water soloing traverses to be done depending on how high the river is (be careful of high water!)

Getting There Suggest change

At the Welcome to Christina Lake sign west of the Highway 395 turnoff to the border follow a short dirt road towards the river for 100m to the rail trail. Park here and walk 50m east on the Trans Canada Trail to the bridge. Go left down the hill immediately before the bridge to get to routes 1-14. For routes 15-26 either rappel off one of the anchors to the ledge or scramble down immediately left of the bridge.
