The Best Rock Climbing Routes in British Columbia

From the Tantalus Hut, head clockwise around the lake following the trail to the Sandspit Camp (start of route line). Climb away from the lake along the creek to Niobe Basin and then traverse up and across slopes to gain the base of the North Face of Niobe....
