Jopa Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 I'm heading up to Skaha this weekend and was wondering if anyone could give me some useful information about the climbing. The "Skaha Rockclimbs" book is out of print and I have called everywhere in North America (alright, not really everywhere) and no one has a copy. I know most of the climbs are moderate sport, but I'm not at the point where I would feel confortable just bombin' up anything that looks good. Any information would help, or if anyone knows of a good website that would be great also. And if anyone is in a truly generous mood and wanted to lend me their Skaha book, I would be willing to throw some cash your way for the trouble. Thanks to all who can help.

Alpinfox Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 I assume you've seen this? http://www.skaha.org I've never been there, so I can't offer any first-hand beta/advice. Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 It'll be busy enough to just ask around and borrow a peak at someone elses book. Try Ray's Sports Den, or whatever that shop is in Penticton. I'd be willing to guess they keep a lot in stock. There are some topos here, but not all that good I'm afraid. http://www.skaha.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cman Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 it is pretty cool up there. there is tons of rock and climbs all over the place, but the book is helpful if you want to know where you are or where you might want to climb. you should do Double Trouble, a 5.8 trad climb that looks cool. also stay at the campground behind the waterslide, it is cheap and i hear they let you ride the slide for free in the evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
