West Kootenay Rock Guide
West Kootenay Rock Guide is a full-colour, 160-page, perfect-bound publication that includes summaries of 22 rock climbing areas and over 400 routes in South-Central British Columbia. Every climb around Nelson, Castlegar, Kaslo, Rossland and Slocan City, including the Valhalla Mountain range, is showcased along with tales of the rich climbing history in the region. (Did you know Kinnaird Bluffs in Castlegar was once the site of the hardest climb in Western Canada?)
The book was researched and written by local climbers and route developers Aaron Kristiansen and Vince Hempsall and it features the work of professional photographers Melissa Welsh and Steve Ogle. It has also taken guidebooks to a new level by incorporating colour-coded route topos that are so easy to use, they’ll do everything but climb for you.
Simply put, West Kootenay Rock Guide is the most comprehensive tool for any rock climber and recreational sports enthusiasts living in or visiting British Columbia.
