An excellent problem in Salt Spring's Burgoyne Boulderfield. 99% of this area is complete conglomerate choss, but it offers plenty to do for anyone with a little vision and adventure.

A brilliant setting in the woods of Salt Spring. It was beginning to rain as this photo was taken, no big surprise to anyone who climbs in the northwest.

Burgoyne Boulders. It was fully pouring by the time the loose cobbles were pulled off and this fine short overhang was climbed. Last one of the trip.

Here's Pyp pulling through the hardest (sent) problem in Burgoyne.

Climbing mid-January in Canada usually means ice or mixed...not on Salt Spring! 2nd pitch of Cankers overlooking Burgoyne Bay just before the crux section. Nikon F90x, 20mm Nikkor, Fuji Provia 100f

I know this is "Rock Climbing".com, but this is my favorite picture so I thought I would submit it anyways. This is in a small bay close to saltspring island, it's one of the few places in the world where there is a tidal waterfall...I notised a few climb

My (ex)girlfriend and I watched this on the Bow Spirt of our boat

The view from the top of Bayne's Peak out over the Samsun Narrows is spectacular, especially after a good, long day of climbing

This me me kayaking at musgrave landing. There are a few boulders to crank on there.

On the first ascent of the fourth pitch of this route (My Best Friend's Girlfriend, 5.11a/1pa) we weren't sure if you could chimney past this roof section or not: even with his helmet off (last frame) Sam couldn't manage the squeeze and was forced to nego

A recently bolted 2 pitch route on Salt Spring Island, BIO (Buns in the Ovens), 5.10a, sits well above Samsun Narrows in Mt. Maxwell Provincial Park. This photo is of Peter Mede finishing the 5.9 crux section of the second pitch on a perfect summers day.

Warming up or down & catching the last rays of the day is what this boulder is all about...photo by Pyp

Here's Pyp working on a new problem at the Quarry...as usual, a dunk in the water is possible here!

This warm-up problem is quite forgiving if you happen to slip in the right direction. Here's Pyp with no intention of slipping
