bstach Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 (edited) This past summer i did a family camping trip on Saltspring Island and was reminded that there is some climbing there on Mt. Maxwell. My question is has anybody climbed there and is it worthwhile to bring my rope and rack next time i am out that way? From what I saw, it seems to be the same size and scope to Mt. Erie. The rock looked like it might be a bit chossy, but I didn't get a close look. Edited August 24, 2007 by bstach Quote
G-spotter Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 I have the guidebook, it looks pretty good. It's a pebble conglomerate if I remember right. Quote
giza Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 The climbing there is good if you're comfortable leading sport on conglomerate. The rock is generally pretty good but the odd cobble does pop out of the matrix. I've done a few routes there...BIO, Nothing's Shocking...can't remember any other route names. If you're familiar with the climbing at Samsun Narrows the rock is the from the same formation. There used to be a really good webpage describing crags, routes and boulder problems on the island but it doesn't appear to be online anymore - maybe because of the guidebook release? Quote
