There are hundreds of climbs in the Kelowna area ranging from under 5.0 to over 5.12 (YDS). Before you head out for your climbs make sure you are well equipped with all the necessary gear. Some of these areas are still ongoing development, so please avoid any climbs that are closed projects or have the first bolt flagged. Many of the climbing areas in the Okanagan are in Provincial Parks. Please adhere to all park rules, including staying on established trails, on-leash pets, leave-no-trace and no fires unless in provincially regulated metal pits. Some crags are also on Crown Land or Private Land. Climbing access depends heavily on respect of the above rules; please respect the area so others may enjoy it for years to come. Please contact Central Okanagan Climbing Association (COCA) and Okanagan Bouldering Society (OBS) with any further questions.
