Description

This area has surprisingly good rock on mostly vertical faces with positive in-cut holds. A mix of trad and sport with easy approaches. Pronounced Ka-MEE-lin.

The majority of climable rock at Q'emiln is an orthogneiss derived from metamorphosed granite.   

Getting There

From Downtown Spokane, get on I-90 going east and head to the Idaho State Line which is about 16 miles away. Take Exit 5, The Spokane Street/City Center Exit, and take a right and head south on Spokane Street across the bridge to Parkway Road. Take a right here, and head down about 400 yards to the Q'emiln Park entrance. This pay station is open seasonally, and you can usually get in past a closed up station in the spring and fall. If you don't wish to pay during the summer months, park here and walk in. Once in, you will see a sign for the Q'emiln Park Trail System. The crag is directly west of the sign.
