Bowen Island sport climbing crag

Post by willthethrill » Tue May 26, 2009 8:33 am

I was out paddling around Bowen Island yesterday and when I went ashore for lunch, to my surprise there was a sport crag right on the beach. I counted 5 routes. 3 had draws on them and there was a fixed line on one of the routes. They seem well bolted and the rock looks nice, with some overhanging routes. But I did notice one peculiar thing about the anchor stations for all the climbs. There was only one anchor ring at the top of every climb. Is this a safe/common practice? Every sport climb I have been on had two anchor points on the top. Also any info about this crag would be appreciated.

Cheers,


Willy

I have topos available for all the Bowen routes. We've got single pitch sport on the beach to two pitch routes on Mt. Gardner. Send an email for more info.
