Cappilano Canyon
Capilano Canyon

Within the greater Vancouver area are at least 3 developed crags, two along the coastline in West Vancouver, and the other in Capilano Canyon in North Vancouver.

Capilano Canyon
Nestled below the North Shore Mountains, the Capilano Canyon host a couple climbs up to 4 pitches in length.  A good place to escape the crowds.
Lighthouse Park
Since the 1950’s, the sea-cliffs of Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver have been a popular spot for climbers.  The featured 15m granite cliffs rise out of the ocean and provide a good spot to climb after work or on sunny winter days.  About 15 climbs, mostly short, and at a wide range of difficulty. A superb situation on a nice evening with the waves lapping at your feet, the sun setting at your back, some fine featured granite at your fingertips, and the city carefully hidden from sight. 
Copper Cove
A recently developed sea-cliff near the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal.  A variety of climbs, both sport and gear, mostly 5.10 and up.  Some of the routes are quite loose, but should improve with traffic.  Mind the tides!!
