Chist Creek

Great single pitch climbing area with 20+ established top rope routes. Chist recreational site offers 3 prime camping spots with an outhouse and a mountain stream for water close by.
Head east off Hwy 37 across from the Onion Lake Ski Trials onto the North Kitimat Forest Service Road. Follow this road for 2km and turn left. Keep left for another 1km. At the next intersection, turn right and go .6km to the side.

Copper Mountain

Good rock and close proximity to town is a recipe for quality route development. Copper Mountain has warm south facing rock that is tailor made for evening climbing. Whether you’re looking for a quick after work climb or an all day adventure, Copper Mountain will satisfy.
Heading east of Terrace on Hwy 16, turn right onto Old Lakelse Lake Drive. Follow through lower Thornhill and up the hill. Turn left onto Thornhill street across from the Thornhill Pub. Just past a bend in the road with some cliffs in the trees, turn right into the golf course parking lot. Park at the opposite end from the clubhouse and follow the dirt road which heads north towards the second hole then turns east and heads towards the cliff. A road behind the gravel pit past the third hole leads to the power lines.

Exchamsiks River Provincial Park

This incredible vertical wall rises from the riverbank for almost 250m. Recent development includes short sport routes and multi pitch trad lines.
Drive west (55km) from Terrace on Highway 16 to the Exchamsiks Park.

Exstew Valley

Exstew provides great potential for some really hard sport routes. Currently only two routes exist.
32km from the lighted road conditions sign spanning Highway 16 on the western outskirts of Terrace is the Exstew Forest Service Road. Turn right and drive for 4.2km where an old road branches off to the right into second growth forest. Park your vehicle here. Hike about 100m up this road until it ends and a trail takes you to your right. The first cliff you reach has one 5.11 sport route and another route in progress. To reach the main wall, continue up the stairs and another 5 minutes further along the trail.
