The highest density of boulder problems in Ontario! Not a destination crag… Only climb here out of desperation.
Slightly overhung outcrop of surprisingly solid rock and interesting holds, with safe and flat landings. Almost all the problems are sit starts and eliminates (only use the hand holds in the pictures uploaded to each problem) and the foot rail is out of bounds unless stated otherwise. Climbs are labelled left to right facing the wall. Dry in the winter. Seeps during snow melt and wet after rain. Bug spray mandatory during the summer (marsh nearby).
The best way to get here without trampling vegetation, breaking trees and creating visible paths which may jeopardize access is as follows: park on Blackbridge road near the bridge and walk west towards the train tracks. Turn right onto the path with rock stairs just before the train tracks and follow the ATV path ~150 meters. Keep walking past the rocky outcrop for ~30 meters and then turn right at the next ATV trail down a gentle hill for ~50 meters (go around felled trees blocking the path). At the freshly cut tree stump next to the path where there is a big rut in the track, turn right at the tree and follow the clearing by sticking just to the right of the cedar trees to find the main wall.
Don't add to the ridiculous amount of litter that is already everywhere on this property. Do not start fires. Topping out not recommended due to vegetation.
Discovered and developed by Olivier GK and friends during the pandemic gym closures.
