We are pleased to announce that Skaha Provincial Park is back open to climbers. Here is an update from Rolf Rybak:
Skaha Bluffs Park will be open today (Sept.4th, 2020) at noon for climbing but two Eastern and Southern areas are still closed. Shady Lane /Hollow, Flake and Gillies creek areas are still close. The ward-1 trail branching off of the Grand canyon trail and easter crags are still closed, Rutopia, Retardant and Belvedere areas.
Security guards will be posted at closure area trailheads.
Finally but most important, a big thank you to Wendy Pope our Regional Park Manager for advocating on our behalf to open the park
Rock Oven, Ward 1, Sauerkraut trails and the Smythe FSR remain closed
Rock Oven, Ward 1, Sauerkraut trails and the Smythe FSR are in exceptionally poor condition – Active wildfire, danger trees, ash pits, chainsaw operations, and aerial suppression remain as hazards in the Area Restriction. for climbing.
