About

The Bakery offers routes of a moderate nature on steep crimpy basalt. It has a less than 5 minute approach from the car and all routes are sport bolted. The cliffs were top roped and aided many years ago, but it took frenzied gardening before the Bakery emerged as an appealing sport cliff. All routes are less than 25 metres with excellent walk-offs. Although most of the lines on the main wall (the Bread Wall) have been climbed or are current projects, ample opportunities exist for new routes to the south and west.

Directions

Follow the same direction as Cougar Caves until you get to Boneyard Main, then drive along it for approx 10km. The landmark is a boulder field on your left and the Galloping Goose Trail (an abandoned railway line) across the river on the right. The cliff is up to the left - a cairn marks an enterance trail. Be aware that the road is actively used by TimberWest and you may encounter closed gates. The main gate is often locked during the weekends from 4:30pm Friday to late Sunday. An alternate access is provided by getting on to the Galloping Goose at the Sooke Potholes camping area and marching down the Goose to the crag - about 20 minutes.
