Long a favourite with the locals due to its close proximity to Prince George, this crag remains the only game in town. This is not a destination area, and if you have any climbing experience elsewhere whatsoever you will look upon a visit to Evening Rock with a mixture of horror and nausea. Leading is not to be undertaken lightly as the rock on this cliff is anything but the best, and it is not uncommon to have holds break off well-established climbs that have seen numerous ascents. The height of the cliff ranges from four to 12 meters. Access is a contentious issue, and a climber should exercise restraint and caution while visiting this cliff. It has been a number of years since my last visit to this area, so forgive me if my account is less than 100% accurate. For what it is worth, I would encourage you to visit Ft. St. James; the rock quality far surpasses Evening Rock, and the potential for new routes is astounding.
