Whether it's your first visit or fiftieth, KAYA makes your Fraser Valley days smoother, safer, and more dialed.

The Fraser Valley bouldering is wild and adventurous. With overgrown trails, moss-covered boulders and the threat of running into cougars and bears, this place sure has its charm. Only two hours from Squamish it is a great alternative for those who seek to get away from the crowds and experience a raw and untamed wilderness. The rock itself is plentiful; there are well over 1000 established lines and new areas still being discovered; with the charmingly chossy talus field of Elbow Lake, the dense granite-filled forest of Hunter Creek and the raw beauty of the Fraser Ca...

Only two hours from Squamish it is a great alternative for those who seek to get away from the crowds and experience a raw and untamed wilderness. The rock itself is plentiful; there are well over 1000 established lines and new areas still being discovered; with the charmingly chossy talus field of Elbow Lake, the dense granite-filled forest of Hunter Creek and the raw beauty of the Fraser Canyon, there is something here for everyone. This guide would not be possible without the people who worked to develop the boulders, preserve the areas and record the information. Marco Lefebvre, Nate Woods, Trevor Edwards, Brett Kruselnicki and Alex Stewart to name a few. -WEATHER- The climbing season is typically from April to October, while the best conditions are on the dry days during the shoulder seasons. However, these shoulder seasons are cursed with heavy rainfall. Some areas do better than others at certain times of the year. This will be highlighted in their descriptions. -ETHICS- The Fraser Valley climbers are blessed with pristine wilderness. We have all seen the impact climbers can have on their surroundings. To minimize your impact, please respect these guidelines with climbing: -Stay on the trail. (If you can find it) -Pack in it? Pack it out! -Brush your tick marks. (Let the next person have the same adventure you had) -Be kind to all. (Especially the non-climbers and wildlife) -If you have to leave a #2, bury it and pack out your TP. -For bonus points: leave it better than you found it by scrubbing a boulder or moving a log off the path, etc. -ACCESS ISSUES- The majority of the Fraser Valley bouldering is on private or Indigenous land. While efforts have been made to secure land access, it is a privilege, not a right, to climb here. For this reason, the Valley has remained a poorly kept secret for years. Please treat these climbing areas with respect, so people can continue to climb here for years to come. Doing so means: -No loud music. -Keep a smaller group size. -Keep the impact on wildlife and vegetation to a minimum. Specifics about each area can be found in their descriptions. As the Fraser Valley bouldering covers a vast region, directions here would be redundant. Check the 'approach' details in each area for directions.
