Distel32 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Glasgow and I went up to Skaha for the weekend. It was my first time. My conclusion is that it is quite cool, nice change of rock, good selection of routes (long and vertical or short and steep). All the bolts are very close. grades seemed debatable. Definitely very cool. I will be heading back for sure quite soon. Don't Fade away is awesome! GK is cool as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrambler Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Yeah my first trip to Skaha (hopefully not my last) was in July of this year. Awesome. I think the drive was shorter than going to Smith. Did you stay at the campground that has the free waterslide or is that gone yet? The sign at the beginning of the steps is amusing.

cracked Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I couldn't go because of homework and work. Sounds like it was a great weekend to be climbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 How you gonna send Chain Reaction if yer at Skaha? Go south, young man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distel32 Posted October 27, 2003 Author Share Posted October 27, 2003 grades are definitely soft. Not sending wasn't a move issue, just a pump issue. Moves easy, lactic acid bad. Damn bouldering! Yeah I'll be back at smith the 8-9 I believe. Nice change of rock and scene though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
