Blessed Art Though the Peacemakers offers a focused, no-frills introduction to the steep granite face of Doctor's Wall at Skaha. This route demands steady climbing at a 5.10c level over its 80-foot length, combining consistent sequences with well-earned rests that allow you to catch your breath and plot each move. The rock feels solid beneath your hands, and as you ascend, the wall reveals its textured personality—granular holds push you to read the line carefully, testing both technique and mental composure. With eight well-spaced bolts safeguarding the climb, the protection provides a reassuring rhythm to the experience, letting you commit to each section with confidence.

The flow of this single-pitch route suits climbers seeking an accessible challenge with a clear end: atop Doctor’s Wall, where a comfortable, wide ledge awaits. From there, a single 70m rappel deposits you safely back to the rocky landing zone below, over terrain that can be tricky if taken lightly. The route’s southern exposure means early mornings lend cooler conditions, with the sun warming the wall by midday. Spring through fall brings the best climbability, avoiding the colder, damp seasons.

Arriving at Doctor’s Wall requires a straightforward stroll, where surrounding lodgepole pines and scrub brush give way to expansive views of the Okanagan Valley. Bringing the right footwear is essential here; solid approach shoes handle the trail and boulder sections comfortably. Hydration matters, especially on warmer days, since the exposed wall offers little refuge from the sun. With a moderate approach and solid anchor setup, Blessed Art Though the Peacemakers makes an excellent first climb in the area, rewarding patience and precision equally.

This route’s measured challenge pairs well with others at Doctors’ Group, situating it as a must-visit for sport climbers exploring British Columbia’s rock climbing scene. Whether you’re dialing in your 5.10 game or topping out on a reliable line with a straightforward descent, this climb combines focused technique with practical access, opening the door to rewarding days in the Okanagan’s climbing realm.
