Special thanks to Aidan Nickel who has gone through the tedious task of gathering all the information he could on the bouldering in and around the Greater Victoria area. The document includes a ton of information including an interactive map, as well as pictures, topos, and access information to each of the areas. Below is the word from Aiden from the start of the guide:
Despite the island not being home to particularly excellent rock, nor an extremely large population, the climbing community, in particular the bouldering scene, has been vibrant and psyched since the mid 90’s. The people in this scene have squeezed lines out of even the smallest and least noteworthy areas in their search for problems. From a historical perspective I have always found it interesting that some of the most prominent developers in early Squamish bouldering were Victorians. These climbers and others have put up quality problems all over small areas surrounding Victoria, and due to the multitude of areas, lack of information, and the rapid growth of moss, these problems are often lost and forgotten.
