About Comox Lake:
These crags are scattered throughout the woods and are all within a 15 minute walk from the Comox Lake campground near Cumberland. The majority of the routes are 5.10 or easier, making them suitable for most climbers. The first routes were put up in the mid eighties, though the majority of climbs have been established more recently in the last decade. The routes have been established by just a few dedicated climbers and many of the difficult routes have not been repeated. Comox Valley Clims guide is availible at MEC, Valhalla and at the Romper Room in Nanaimo. |
