Parking Area Improvements

The Revelstoke Climbers Access Society worked with Revelstoke Climbers Co-op, Emcon and the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations on two major parking area projects in 2015. The parking lot for the ever popular Begbie Bluffs received a much needed expansion which doubled it's size.

Victor Lake Wall has historically been a difficult and dangerous place to park due to the extreme nature of the highway and lack of sight-lines. The Revelstoke Climbers Access Society teamed up with Emcon in September to build a climber's parking area. The new area is accessed via a new exit from the highway complete with it's own culvert and access road.

Anchor Replacements

The RCAS updated climbing anchors during 2015 with the generous support of hardware from Mountain Equipment Co-op. The popular Shaketown area is where almost all anchors were replaced due to corrosion and washer/nut combinations being utilized. The Crystal Palace at Begbie Bluffs was also addressed where two routes were updated; Obsidian and Yellow Peril. Obsidian was updated from homemade aluminum hangers to new stainless components. Yellow Peril's anchor was slightly relocated to lessen the factors of rope drag and a sharp edge.
