At the far northwest corner of Quadra Island is Granite Point (50°16'40.32"N 125°22'59.00"W). The name alone should pique the interest of marine climbers! Sure enough there are a collection of small but quite excellent crags along the shoreline around the point. And what a stunning setting it is jutting out into Discovery Passage pointing toward the summer setting sun. It's possible to see whales, dolphins, eagles and all sorts of marine wildlife here as well as some interesting ships plying their way to and from Alaska on the Inside Passage so keep your eyes peeled and don't forget to pack a fishing rod (and license)
