The Skaha Climbing Tick List

View from 'Slow Pitch, 10c' towards Penticton

As a rock climber you have probably been or heard of SKAHA if you are from the western part of Canada. It really has become THE spring/fall road trip destination in Western Canada and for good reason. Over the years I have had many special days at this wonderful place. With tons of variety, friendly climbing, good weather, beautiful lakes and great people, the list goes on. I thought I would put together a kind of TICK list (not to be confused with those dirty bastards out there looking to suck you blood) of routes that I have had the privilege of climbing (most of them) over my many visits. I thought that the list would maybe give you (the readers) a kind of goal or list of climbs you SHOULD get on when you are looking through the huge new guidebook full of climbs. Have fun and happy climbing!!

We will start at the bottom grades and work through to the higher, this will include Trad & Sport:
