Khartoum Valley: Powell River's Other Valley




Khartoum Valley big wall in the mist
As if 6 walls in the Eldred weren't enough granite for one town, the locals just had to go and put up stellar routes in a whole other valleyThe Khartoum Valley is currently home to 3 longer multi pitch routes, and a few routes in the 1 to 3 pitch ranges as well.
   Oh, it also happens to be closer to town. Plus, all routes so far go free.



 I never had the chance to check it out last season, which makes it a top priority this summer. Stay tuned for more posts on this place, I'm sure I'll have a few.

Routes - so far


The routes that have gone up so far look beautiful, and there's sure to be more to come. Huge props to Andy for developing the area.






I'm told the wall is very well featured and has some stellar crack systems. Surely more routes to come.
