New route activity has been fast and furious in the year since the latest Skaha guidebook came out, and skaha.org aims to try and keep information on new routes up-to-date.
In an attempt to try something new, and prompted by the development of a couple of completely new cliffs, we have decided to try out mini-guides to individual cliffs, rather than an omnibus New Route update as we have done previously. These mini-guides are intended to supplement info in the current guidebook.
To start the season off here are a couple of our first mini-guides to Muscle Beach and to a newly developed cliff, Shady Lane. Check out the links or the date-stamped links in the Download menu on the left of the main page.
We are looking for opinions on these mini-guides - errors, corrections etc. Also, we would be grateful if you could let us know your opinion on the grades and star ratings of the climbs. Please send your thoughts to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Other mini-guides are in preparation and will be uploaded as they are completed.
Have a great Easter weekend.

Rusty's Roost topo

Just handed a hand-drawn topo put together about 10-years ago for Rusty's Roost, a cliff overlooking Ellis Creek near the Lost Moose Lodge on Carmi road, and not that far from the Slayers bouldering area. It is available in the downloads menu.
Not sure about the accuracy of the star ratings and grades. Beware of the handline drawn for the 3rd-class decent - it is likely rotten after nearly 20 years out in the Okanagan sunshine.
