As I climbed out my RV I realised that spring could finally be here. I did not feel that cold that keeps you in bed and the sun was glistening on the lake. Our team had finished training at Horne Lake and now we would try and get some climbing done. There are some 57 boulder problems near the Horne Lake camp ground, nobody seems to have much documentation of the climbing but I'm going to make an effort to build my own data base of climbs I have done or some of the other guys on the team.
The rock is lime stone its my first time climbing limestone. There is not only bouldering here but some serious sport routes and not much below 5.11. There are not many climbers around here so it has an awsome solitude feeling in the forests.
Hi Andrew, I'm from the Nanaimo area and was wondering whereabouts the bouldering at Horne Lake is. I've climbed a bit of the sport stuff up on the big walls, but never noticed any boulders. Was hoping to get out for some more bouldering this year. Cheers,
