Chunder Canyon Rock Climbing

Chunder Canyon is located almost halfway between two large moraines, the first has many shrubs on upper moraine and second mostly rock. It is a recessed canyon with the most sustained vertical rock. As this is in a canyon, it receives sun in the morning and then later in the afternoon is shaded and can get pretty cold (wind funneling, etc.)

Same rock as the rest of Paint Mountain: granite

Be very careful climbing in this canyon. There is significant rock fall hazards. Please be aware of other climbing parties. There is a fixed rope on the left side of the canyon to help with the steep approach. The multi pitch climbing is amazing, but the approach pitches are significantly dirty with an alpine feel. Be careful with the freeze thaw cycle as this will dislodge rocks, especially in the off-width climbs.
