Loading map…

Great White is a crag in Skaha Bluffs, British Columbia, with 66 documented routes. Climbing is predominantly sport, supplemented by mixed and traditional lines, and the listed grades run from 5.6 to 5.13d.

The wall sits between 636 and 684 metres above sea level and is developed on gneiss. Routes range from short climbs to lines around 40 metres; examples include Acid Test at 5.12a and 27 metres, Test of the Ironman at 5.11b and 35 metres, and Great White Onion at 5.13b and 30 metres. Great White Onion begins with a brief bouldery arete before sustained, very thin technical face climbing.

Great White is part of the wider Skaha Bluffs climbing area, where the main season generally runs from March through October or November. The broader destination is known for vertical gneiss and a strong selection of moderate sport climbing, while summer conditions can become hot around midday and winter is commonly cold and snowy.
