Details
Backcountry camping is only permitted more than 1km from roads in Strathcona Park. Certain trails have designated camping sites and fees for overnight stays may apply. Check at each trailhead and pay any applicable fees.
Note that no fires are permitted at any time in the Strathcona backcountry. This is irrespective of any other provincial or local fire bans. No fires are allowed outside of designated steel rings at the main camp sites - period.
Description
Climb the face and arête through a couple overhangs. Really fun climb, and fairly pumpy if you hang around thinking about the crux for too long, which comes at mid-height. Tightly bolted, save a run-out section of easy climbing up to a ledge.
Rap from the anchors that are around the corner to the right, or you can walk off by climbing up a cracked boulder and down a trail to the right.
Location
Blocky arête with a series of small overhangs.
Protection
Bolts.
