I grew up in Kelowna, BC about 1hr north of Skaha and it is
still one of my favorite areas. Many weekends have been spent here...
The Skaha bluffs are located just southeast of the city of
Penticton, with over 700 routes ranging from very easy to 5.13+

Check out Skaha.org for up to date information on routes and activities.
