Turtle Crag climbing permits can be obtained through our website! (Quick link in our bio 🔗) A friendly reminder that Turtle Crag lies on private property, in close proximity to the landowner's residence. As such, the number of visitors is strictly limited to 12 people per day, and noise must be kept at a minimum. Additional restrictions are listed on the permit registration page. Permits are released at 8pm two days prior to the desired climbing date. Stay safe, and happy climbing! #turtlecrag

Are you passionate about safe hardware at your local crag? The OAC Bolt Fund is a brand new project that the OAC is exploring in 2025. Developers across Ontario routinely use their own personal funds to perform the service of replacing worn, rusty or damaged hardware on outdoor routes, including buying bolts, hangers, glue and anchors for community use. The OAC Bolt Fund will use a portion of the OAC’s annual membership funding to reimburse developers for this hardware. We’re looking for an individual to start ASAP to kick off the OAC Bolt Fund in 2025! Applicants must be organized, strong communicators, and able to work independently. Experience in route development is an asset, though not required. Time commitment will vary throughout the year, with the majority of work taking place during the fall application cycle once the program is established. For more details, see www.ontarioallianceofclimbers.ca/volunteers If this sounds like you, contact us at info@ontarioallianceofclimbers.ca !
