Locations
A list of popular climbing locations in the area.
Big Choss
A collection of boulders scattered in talus fields and forest. The approach is straightforward and mostly flat, however navigating the boulder field can be difficult and it is easy to get lost. The rock quality can be poor in places so it is possible that even popular and high traffic climbs have some loose rock.
Big Rock
A huge quartzite erratic a short walk from the car in an open field. Many problems are tall with landings varying from flat dirt to rocky and uneven.
Bonsai
A family-friendly area with good landings and many problems in the V0-V4 range and above. Be sure to respect the nearby campgrounds and horse riders. Climbing pads can spook horses! Be sure to take off your pads if you encounter riders.
Highwood
A recently developed area of conglomerate rock boasting some of the most impressive and highest quality overhang climbing in Alberta. As this is a newer area, use caution when climbing and look out for loose holds.
Skyline
A ravine in Porcupine Hills with high quality sandstone problems scattered throughout.
White Buddha
A short section of cliff with steep overhanging sections and drop-off climbs. The cliff faces south on an open hillside resulting in a sun trap that can allow for climbing all months of the year. Hikers frequent the trail to the top of the ridge beyond the cliff so the area can see a lot of traffic. If going in winter expect the trail to be icy so bring appropriate footwear (ice spikes).
