Climbing the Skaha Bluffs

The Skaha Bluffs are a vertically challenged playground that’s enticed climbers for over two billion years. Hundreds of climbing routes weave their way through the majestic tapestry, presenting as outcrops of horizontal ledges on steeply carved faces. The character of the rock is magnificent with steep, overhanging walls etched with monster holds and splitter cracks. Climbing during the summer is hot but our amazing valley climate allows folks to climb early in spring and well into the fall, which adds changing views sure to impress the most seasoned of climbers.
