Description

This is another small section with 5 sport routes from 5.7 to 5.11. They are mostly overhanging with good holds, morning shade, and a luxurious belay area. Details are in "Fraser Valley Climbs".

L->R sport routes: ~5.10, 5.11, 5.10, 5.9, 5.7.

2022 update: it looks like the 5.10 on the left end of the wall is buried under a fallen tree, and there are two new bolted lines. Which yields:

L->R sport routes: 5.10 (blocked by tree), 5.11, 5.10, 5.11, 5.9, 5.7, 5.11 (approximate grades by the FA).
