Okanagan Bouldering Society, Kelowna, BC (2026)

The Okanagan Bouldering Society was formed in 2015 with the express purpose of promoting bouldering in the Okanagan valley and promote area development in an environmentally conscious and socially responsible manner. We are dedicated to advocating for the continued access to local bouldering areas and building beneficial relationships with the various private and public land owner and management groups. The OBS can be counted on to act in the best Interests of the Okanagan bouldering community and also to promote the ethical and responsible use of all Okanagan bouldering areas including encouraging limited access to sensitive areas. The Okanagan Valley has quickly become the second largest developed bouldering area in Canada and has become a world class destination in its own right. Lets all do our part to respect it and maintain and protect it so we can continue to enjoy the absolutely spectacular bouldering that we have here.

⛏️ Trail Day Recap 🪏

A big thank you to all the volunteers who came out yesterday and worked so hard to help sustain and improve the playground we all enjoy at the Boulderfields! Thanks to the 30+ people who attended, we were able to accomplish a ton!

We had crews working in the East Fields, clearing and improving trails so it’s easier to navigate to farther out areas like Roof On Fire, Magnet Man, Burning Man, and more. We also had a large crew cleaning up the parking lot, weeding, picking up garbage, sanitizing the outhouses (thanks to our President, Robson, for stepping up on that one), and restoring the campsites. There was even a group working on the drop down road, removing problem rocks and flattening out some of the larger holes. If you want more details on the day, you can read our blog (coming soon) on our website, linked in our bio.

Also, an extra big thanks and props to for whipping up a ton of pizzas for everyone who worked up an appetite, you guys are awesome and your pizza was 5 ⭐️!!!

Make sure to follow us for further announcements about future trail days (and other big events 👀), and don’t forget to become an OBS member!
