Perfect Spring Weather for a Climb

There has been a fresh dump of snow on the mountains but we are still enjoying a warm and sunny spring here in the valley of Bella Coola! We have been exploring a climbing crag on a bench above Noosgultch River. I have to say in all the years of exploring this area this is by far the most stunning location. I was absolutely blown away having never been to this climbing crag. It is overshadowed by the most fantastic view of Nusatsum Mountain, still covered in snow with incredible views across the valley. It really reminds me of what a world class destination Bella Coola is for adventure tourism.

The climbing itself is a single pitch sport crag of granite slabs. The site is being rejuvenated with additonal routes and some cleaning to maintain the existing routes (the moss and dirt building up on the rock as the site has been neglected). The climbing is easy to moderate so perfect for groups and beginners. We'll ceratinly be getting some pictures up soon.

Meanwhile I am off to try out my birthday present of a new fishing rod for Cutthroat Trout and Coho Salmon. Bella Coola is also a world class fishing destination. We really are spoilt here!!! So hopefully some fresh fish for dinner tonight...
