scenic but easy
Easy climb up to 5.6.. bolted but with two "trad" pitches. I would have soloed up them though. If the falls and cave weren't there, I'm not sure it would be worth doing. Rock is pretty poor, lots of loose bits which sucks on rappel. There are basically two full pitches traversing on ledges (not very interesting!) but you come to the giant falls which spill right beside you so that's a good pay off. The cave at the top is neat but bring gloves! It's a good fun day for a novice.

Climbing is easy, but location (Next to huge waterfall!!) and cave (dark, nallow 100m to go!) makes this climbing special! May be one of the greatest climb in Canadian Rockies! Lead 8th pitch, bolted 5.6 section besides waterfall!
