About Chilliwack Valley Limestone:
There are a number of limestone bluffs in the mid-section of the Chilliwack Valley near Slesse Creek and Chipmunk Creek which are slowly being developed as sport climbing areas. The existing, developed areas are at Chipmunk Creek and at Slesse Creek and have routes in the 10d to 12+ range. There is also a good bouldering area right next to Chilliwack Lake Road at Slesse Creek with overhanging problems on pocketed rock. Nothing is top-rope accessible so you will need to lead at the grade to get up these routes. Bring a 70m rope. |
