"Mount Boucherie is the ideal place for getting familiar with volcanic rock conglomerate.
This unique outcrop of conglomerate rock is located close to town (Westbank is about 8 minutes, and Kelowna 15 minutes) and directly below the visible tower of Mission Hill winery. Climbing on Mt. Boucherie’s 5 walls consists of easy to difficult technical slabs with pockets and crimps thrown in. There is one steep wall of 5.12 sport climbs (The Cell) and 3 beginner climbs for top-rope and rappelling.
With its easy approach, southern exposure and lake level altitude, it is possible to climb Mount Boucherie every month of the year. "
