Harbour/Back Bay
What to expect
The Harbour has two top-rope anchors and one sport route that follows a crack. The area below the climb is clear and dry.
You get a nice view from back bay.
Directions by Car
Drive and park at the Yellowknife Ski Club. Follow the ski trail north until you see the “Le Loup” sign. Cut off to your right and follow the path down to the lake. The total distance is about 700 metres.
Bring a bug shirt for the hike in. The bugs usually get better once you're at the crag with the breeze coming from the lake.
