Snowshoe Lake Boulders
The Snowshoe Lake boulders have a hand full of good problems in a pretty setting. They also have three amazing crack lines! Bring a rack!
Editors note
There are numerous other routes in this area with less certain data in the guidebook. I’ve omitted them until such time that the data firms up.
Routes
| Name | Grade ↓ | Star rating | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skin Fetish | V5 | ⭐⭐ | Sit start on left side of the boulder and traverse right on sloppers, topping out on the far right around the corner. |
| Prow Main | V4 | - | Start on the left arête, big move right to climb the prow. A lower start has also been climbed. |
| The Black Plague | V4 | ⭐ | Start in the low cave in front of Perpetual Motion on obvious holds. A bit awkward to pull on with the block to the right. Move
out to the lip and roll over it. |
| Prow right | V3 | - | Start on the right side of the ledge. Traverse left into the prow and top out. You can also top out directly above the start onto the
ledge. |
| The Egyptian Wave | V3 | ⭐ | Start on slopers on the left side of the wave feature and traverse right to top out in the centre of the wave. Possible sit start in the
middle from very small crimps. |
| Glass Ceiling | V2 | ⭐ | Sit start on jugs just left of the vertical break on the low rocks. Climb straight up using a side pull and under clings to a long move and committing top out. Height dependant. |
| Lord of the Flies | V2 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Start on the undercling and climb into the tall crack. The difficulty is getting established in the crack. If you stem across to the boulder to the right it climbs at V0. It also takes gear well, if you don't have a lot of pads.
Has been climbed as a boulder problem and on lead with gear. |
| Short Thing | V2 | - | Super short thing that looks easier than it is. Sit start with a right hand crimp on the arête and left on the sloper. One move to the top. |
| Arete | V1 | ⭐ | Sit start on the ledge left of the arête. Climb up the slabby arête above. |
| Anonymous Epoch | V0 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Climb up the slab left of the arête until you can hit the lip. It’s good! |
| Arete the Perpetual Motion | V0 | - | Start as right arête and finish as Perpetual Motion. |
| Perpetual Motion | V0 | - | Problem just right of the tree on ledge right of Lord of the Flies. Start matched on the large jug, climb straight up through a
side pull and top out. |
| Easy slab | V0- | ⭐ | Stand start with hands in crack. |
