Fork In The Road offers a compact, steep challenge on the rugged main cliff of Oregon Jack, near Kamloops, British Columbia. This single-pitch sport climb invites climbers to test their technique along a 65-foot arête that feels alive beneath your hands. Starting on solid, confident holds, the route quickly shifts right, navigating a narrow face where precision becomes key. Here, the rock’s character changes—thin yet inviting holds appear beneath a subtle roof, demanding both body awareness and mental focus. The line pulls through a natural weakness on the right, where rhythm and balance blend, culminating in a final series of moves onto fixed rappel rings that mark the climb’s end.

The rock’s texture provides excellent friction, making quickdraw placements straightforward and secure. Though rated 5.10+, this route strikes a balance between technical challenge and approachable movement, welcoming climbers ready to sharpen their sport climbing skills. Oregon Jack’s steep cliffs catch the sun mid-morning, illuminating the face and highlighting every edge and pocket. Though the climb is brief, the surrounding wilderness offers a quiet backdrop of pine-scented air and distant bird calls, grounding you in this remote corner of British Columbia’s rugged landscape.

For those planning a visit, lightweight quickdraws and steady feet are essential to negotiate the thin faces and roof transitions efficiently. The approach is straightforward but expect a moderately sweaty walk underbrush and uneven terrain leading up to the base. Once at the cliff, the exposed arête provides space to relax between attempts and admire the wide valley views stretching to Kamloops beyond. Whether you’re sharpening your lead skills or simply seeking a crisp, focused climb, Fork In The Road rewards with quality moves, clean rock, and a taste of the wild Canadian outdoors.
