Route closures in the Grand Canyon

May 3rd, 2012
Access to the Replicant, Priapism and Little Blue Pill routes in the Grand Canyon has been closed. Please avoid these routes until further notice.
A great horned owl has two chicks in a next on the ledges immediately to the north of Priapism and imediately alongside the Replicant. The closure will remain in effect until the owls have fledged. BC Parks expect this to be in the next to 2-3 weeks, and will be monitoring the nest activity frequently.
The adjacent routes (Blade Runner etc.) remain open.
Your patience with these route closures is greatly appreciated.
Mark Weston, BC Parks.
New Skaha Guide Launch Party

20 March , 2012
Howie Richardson's latest Skaha Rockclimbs guide book will be available for Easter weekend.
To celebrate this long awaited event, the upstairs bar of The Barley Mill has been booked for the evening of Easter Sunday (7-9pm and on) for a book launch party.
The new guide books will be available that evening but this will be as much a climbers social as a book launch.
Howie has arranged for a screen set up and will be soliciting the best 20 slides of mountain activities from 2011/12 from people once projection capability is confirmed.
Tell your friends in Calgary, Vancouver, Squamish, Canmore and other denizens of the climbing community and let's aim for a full up Easter climbers bash, much in the tradition of the climber's get-togthers '80's Leavenworth style!
Forget Easter Sunday dinner and book the date now - see you at the Barley Mill, Easter Sunday.
