Description:   (under review)

Skaha is one of the best sport climbing destinations in Canada. The rock is well featured gneiss and easily accessible. The "bluffs" are a sport climbers dream due to their proximity to the parking lot. Skaha has something for every ability and style of climber-- 5.6 to 5.14, slab to roofs-- Skaha has it all. Skaha also boasts some of the best year-round climbing weather in Canada. Moderate fall and spring temperatures bring climbers from all over the world. While some consider summer too hot for climbing in the Okanagan, it is not difficult to find shade due to the orientation of the bluffs to the sun. All of the west facing walls are great in the morning and the east facing great for afternoons. Lastly, it is not uncommon for climbers to be seen at the beach in Penticton or Okanagan falls for an afternoon swim before heading back for an evening session at one of the many spectacular walls that Skaha has to offer.
