Description

This cave is the main attraction at Horne Lake and is where all of western Canada comes to climb on a rainy day. Lots of 3D climbing on tufas and holes of all sizes -- kneebar pads recommended!

Getting There

Zig zag up the hill from the parking lot. Cross a creek for the first time, then take your first right afterwards, where you'll cross the creek a second time higher up. After the second crossing, take your first left and continue up. Take your first right up the stairs and continue up and right towards the Amphitheatre.
