Cathedral Provincial Park BC, Canada

10 years back or so I went on a week long trip up to the park & did a ton of hiking & back packing, as its been some time since then & my idea of a fun time has changed slightly, I was wondering if anyone has done any climbing in the area as I remember lots of cliff faces.

I pulled up the provincial park info & it does say some climbing.
http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/...e/parkpgs/cathedral/

this is the info the site lists for climbing.

"Grimface, the Matriarch and Macabre Tower offer mountaineering opportunities for experienced climbers. "

I've done several searches on RC.com & have found nothing on the area or even a region listed.

has this area been climbed by anyone on here? or is a hidden Jem?

I seem to recall something about this area - I'll ask around...

When you Google it, you get this: http://images.google.ca/...rch+Images&gbv=2

Seems to be lots of climbing!

I also did a google search but used "Grimface, the Matriarch and Macabre Tower" as my search & found this decent write up.
