ABOUT SFU

This digital SFU climbing guidebook gives you GPS navigation, verified topos, and beta for hundreds of climbs. Explore classics and hidden gems with offline access to maps, directions, and beta videos. Whether it's your first visit or fiftieth, KAYA makes your SFU days smoother, safer, and more dialed.

The SFU Boxcar Boulder is a large singular block with over 10 different pathways to the top, offering something for every skill level. The coarse granite provides excellent grip, and the rock dries quickly after rain, making it a reliable choice for a short day of bouldering. The top-outs are relatively easy, making for satisfying finishes to each problem.

The boulder is located 200 meters west of the intersection of Burnaby Mountain Parkway and Gagliardi Way. The nearest parking area is a gravel pull-out, about 900 meters northwest of the boulder, next to the Trans Canada Trail.
