A large, rugged granite mountain that offers numerous climbs ranging from scrambles to technical rock routes. Many of the technical routes feature chimneying and/or wide cracks.The area around the peak was too dry to be glaciated in the last ice age, and has consequently weathered to a much greater degree than the surrounding glaciated terrain. There is lots of crystalline sand and the crags and towers of the peak display deep cracks and rounded blocks more akin to Joshua Tree than other BC granite climbing areas.
Name Notes: Named by Neal Carter for a fancied profile of a frowning face seen on a neighbouring rock crag. For some reason, Outward Bound, who used to use this area heavily, referred to Grimface as "Mt. McKeen". This usage has thankfully been quashed by the increased use of the correct name in climbing guidebooks.
