Climbing Near North Vancouver, British Columbia

Excellent little area to spend a few hours bouldering at. Great flat landings all around and an easy access just right off of 22nd and Moody in North Vancouver. Rock type is most likely granite but I'm not 100%. This area used to be a quarry and left some fun boulder problems. Type in greenwood park or 22nd and Moody into google maps and you should be able to find it. Very close to the highway by Lynn Valley, North Vancouver.

A 60ish meter cliff with two routes over the Capilano River offers a very high level of adventure for a very short approach.The best way to access this wall is via a 45m rappel in to the ledge where most parties begin climbing (60m if going to the canyon bottom). The wall is very steep, and you will want to clip gear as you go if you need to use intermediate anchors. The better method is to do a single rope rappel (careful of sharp edges) then climb out on a separate line; this also gives you an avenue of escape if you need to retreat. Note that the most common rap route crosses over the Capilano Classic route, be careful if it looks like there is another party below. Head up Capilano Road as if you were going to Grouse Mountain. Turn left onto Capilano Park Road and park at the small trailhead lot on the left after a couple hundred metres (49.3467310, -123.1130756). Continue walking down Capilano Park Road for another 100m or so until you see a faint trail on the other side of the fence to the left. Follow this trail for a few minutes until you reach a clearing at the edge of the canyon. As of 2024 there was flagging tape marking the top of the wall. If you head skiers right you may also be able to see a handline and bolts marking to top of the Capilano Classic.
