Access Issue: CONSTRUCTION JULY 2020 TO 2022
Details
Construction on the long-term mitigation work in Cougar Creek will be starting soon. This page contains information on the Debris Retention Structure and will be updated on a regular basis during construction - keeping you up to date on impacts in the area.
Construction Timelines - Updated June 3, 2020
At this time we are still moving ahead with capital projects, this project is a key piece of infrastructure for the safety of the community. The contract to construct the Debris Flood Retention Structure has been awarded to Flatiron Constructors Canada Limited. The contract was awarded at a value of $32.8 million. They bring essential experience in building large infrastructure projects in challenging locations.
We expect construction to start in early July
Construction will be completed in 2022, with final landscaping complete in 2024
Trails in the area will be impacted in the following way:
Cougar Creek Canyon will be closed during construction
The two multi-use pathways on either side of the creek will remain open - short closures may be necessary
Montane trail and the Horseshoe trail systems will remain open - short closures may be necessary
The Lady MacDonald Trail will remain open - short closures may be necessary

Description
A great wall that is getting more and more attention as Grassi is crowded by the weekend-warrior crowd, so is echo and there is good climbing to be done in the shade and in the sun all day. Also, with a 30-45 minute approach this sector is nice to have handy and has some good options for two pitch routes. There are many interesting climbs and has a bit of everything (5.5-12a; single and multipitch; crimps, slopers, slab, face and crack).
The way to know if you are there is you look up and there is this giant corner system that hosts a very good crack-type face climb on bolts after an initial slab. This route is called Prime Cut (middle, 10c) or Outer limits (arete, 12a). The approch pitch on the slab is called Cosmic String and is worth doing if 5.8 is your jam, 70m rope require but two stations on this climb make it easy for even the shorties out there.
This wall is also across from a wall that has a North west aspect called "red eye cove (climber's right side)" and "Caribbean (climber's left, up the hill)" which are better on hot days until your climb gets into the shade.
