Access Issue: Overnight Parking/Camping Details

There have been reports of concerns of people parking overnight or camping on the gravel roadside pullouts along Highway 99. Please be aware that there is no overnight parking or camping allowed at these areas. Being an isolated area, there are a limited number of sites available at the only nearby campground, which likely has contributed to this. If you’re sleeping in your vehicle, the wonderful park operator, Birgit (pronounced: Beer-get), is happy to accommodate more people overnight in the day-use lots for the standard camping fee.

The Ministry of Transportation has the power to restrict parking along these roads entirely (including for day use), so please be sure to abide by their rules to ensure our continued access to this area.

Description

Hike the trail to the Lower Apron. Head for the slabs located directly above the trail as you near the wall. Find your way through the lower slabs to the base of a prominent sickle (3 pitches). Either traverse to the left or follow the sickle into a left-to-right diagonal groove. There is a bolted belay with 2 large Metolius rap hangers at the top of the sickle pitch.

Continue rightwards, diagonal up, past bolts now, passing another bolted chain belay station, to a large ledge. There is a bolted chain station on the ledge to belay/rap. Follow bolts up the orange groove chimney directly above the belay bolts. A steep block, protected by a bolt at head height, gains a comfortable belay ledge with another bolted chain station.

Continue up the wide chimney above for a couple more short pitches or climb it all in 1 long pitch. Bolts and bolted anchors. You can rap back own to the large ledge with a single 60m rope. Continue rapping skiers right, stopping at chain stations for Stone Marmot. A single 60m rope gets you down.

Location

Park at the first gravel pullout (lake side of Hwy) when coming from Marble Canyon Provincial Park Campground (east of the trailhead). Follow the trail that starts behind a speed limit sign across the Hwy. Follow the trail to the Lower Apron (~15mins). The start of the route lies overhead on the slabs as you near the wall. Route is #207 n the Lower Wall topo
