Access Issue: Do not park in the residential neighborhood! Park in the designated lot Details

There is an excellent parking lot available (thanks to the BC Climbers Access Society, I believe), but people continue to park in the residential areas anyway.

Description

The Crux for me was just getting off the ground. This is a great slab climb that is a real test piece to lead. Trust your feet, grab tiny crystals, and keep your weight from going to both feet at the same time and you will really find this climb a true delight!

Location

This route is off of Channel road just below Ferret's Folly crag. The start to the climb is the second bolted line from the arete as you are going left. Walk off or be lowered down.

Protection

6 Bolts protect the route plus one section half way up the climb for some pro. Bolted anchor at top.
