Most of the crags on RockClimbPG are within a 3 hour drive of Prince George. Click the links above to find more detailed information or see below for a quick summary.

 

Please be respectful of the climbing areas and clean up after yourself. Always use safe climbing practices and have fun!

 

Again, most of the information has been created by others and I am simply putting them all onto one website. Some of the information may be outdated but the pages will be updated as more information is gathered.

 

Thank you for all those who have developed these climbing crags and for those who have put out resources for us to use.
