Description
This crag has 11 routes easily visible from the highway and 5 minutes from Grand Forks. It faces south and can be climbed comfortably if the forecast is for sun and more than about 3 degrees. Most of the routes are slabs at a moderate grade. Good place to work on your footwork and balance. Apparently the slabs right of the current routes were used as a toprope area for kids back in the day. Sure it’s not the best crag in the area but the ease of access and sun exposure makes it incredibly convenient in the spring and fall. If the grades on the slab seem boringly easy try them in boots with a pack. That keeps them interesting!
Getting There
Turn off the highway just east of Gilpin FSR. The Crag is above a corral at an old homestead in Gilpin Grasslands Provincial Park. It’s the only significant turn north of the highway between Gilpin FSR and the pullout for Riverview Crag. Park at the corral and walk to the obvious bluffs. Between a 1-5 minute approach depending on how overgrown the path has gotten...
