Over the past few weeks, pictures of an open project have been emerging on social media. The location featured is Copper Cove, a relatively unknown climbing area in West Vancouver, about five minutes from the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal. Originally found and established by Robin Barley, Copper Cove has gone through a number of developmental spurts, being forgotten and re-discovered numerous times in its history. The most recent developer of the area is Salvador Olson. Salvador has added a number of routes, as well as retrofitted a few classics.

Trying to get psyched for the great weather today? Here is Jimmy Webb’s 2015 adventure in Australia.
Australia hosted some of the best rock i’ve ever touched. The sandstone was different and had some wild features that I had never seen like the famous “spider web” formations. The style was super unique and I was blown away at the quality of rock. I don’t think I really saw an inch of choss in all of Grampians. Here’s a quick edit of some of the nicer problems I climbed. Hope you enjoi!
