This guide offers the most up-to-date information on sport climbing around Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. Since the first edition was published in 1996, many new routs have been created at the established crags of the Lantzville foothills, Linley Valley, Rutherford Ridges, Mt. Benson area, and the Nanaimo River crags south of town. A vast amount of accessible routes makes the area worth exploring.
