Carving its line along the rugged stone of Exchamsiks Provincial Park, Moss Man is a focused single-pitch sport climb that invites strong climbers to test their skill on rock that demands attention. The route begins just left of the start for Exit Stage Left, guiding you upward toward a ledge tucked beneath a commanding overhang. The climb’s holds whisper of wild growth and the slow march of moss and lichen that cling to the cool, damp surface, offering a tactile connection with this northern British Columbia crag.

Moss Man lives up to its name with a raw, natural feel—the rock surface still bears the imprint of untouched obstacles, as this line calls for some cleaning work. While the protected bolts provide confidence, the challenge lies in reading the route and trusting body and foot placements without much room for hesitation. Rated 5.10b/c, the climb balances technical moves and physical endurance. It invites climbers to reevaluate its grading firsthand, as the difficulty hangs in the balance and might shift with additional brush-up.

Approach-wise, Exchamsiks is remote but accessible. The trail to the crag winds through a dense forest of fir and spruce, the scent of earth and wood mixing in the cool air. Expect about a 15-minute hike from the nearest parking, with steady footing but uneven ground in places. Plan for variable weather typical of Northern BC, bringing layers and waterproof gear even in summer months.

Safety and preparation are key here: the overhang creates a ledge that demands precision in movement and commitment to the bolts. Make sure your quickdraws are in top condition and consider bringing some cleaning tools to tidy the holds if you're keen to help maintain the route’s quality. The rock is solid but can carry moss and moisture, so check for slippery patches.

For those drawn to quiet, off-the-beaten-path climbs with just enough challenge to sharpen technique, Moss Man offers a rewarding experience. It’s a route that encourages respect for the wild environment and the continuous work that keeps such climbs climbable. Whether planning a visit as part of a bigger Northern BC climbing trip or seeking out this single line, preparation and a spirit for hands-on engagement will turn your climb into a memorable chapter of adventure.
