Lily Pad Lane Rock Climbing

Lily Pad lane is the area that starts 30m upstream from the main Cougar Crag sport climbing wall - there are two distinct walls with climbs on them. The second wall has a distinct Wolf Head feature that looms over you. There is no bolting this on purpose as its completely detached, yet solid for now. There are currently 17 climbs in Lily Pad lane. There are 3 closed projects at the moment. The climbs are uniquely burly, often wet for the first two bolts and are all natural. Expect to get your rope a little wet even though there are dry "lily" rock pads set up under each climb - mostly from pulling your rope after climbing. Almost all the climbs are in the 12 - 15m range with 5 to 6 bolts on each climb. Due to the constant seepage at the beginning of most of the climbs, stick clipping the first or second bolt is generally recommended. This is is a climbing area for the late part of July and all of August and into the fall until the rains begin. This is mainly because the creek will be low and the walls will be drier with temperatures in the canyon usually a pleasant low 20's.

Writers Note: Most of this information is getting gathered from another site and being here only twice this last summer (2023) I'm a little uncertain about the order of the routes. If you end up climbing here please feel free to edit to make this page better. The two obvious routes are Dirtbag Adonis and Froie Gras which both happen to be on the left side of this new crag.
