Here’s a brief rundown on Crag Updates for Spring 2022.
Halton Crags
Bookings are here to stay for the foreseeable future. However, Halton allows climbers to book back-to-back slots, giving you more time to enjoy the crag.
Turtle Crag
Good news: The new booking system is working well, and our relationship with landowners has improved! For a link to the reservation page and the Turtle Crag Code Of Conduct, click here.
Great work, everyone, and continue to enjoy the space responsibly.
Hamilton
We need your help! We seek a team to help with advocacy and access in the Hamilton area. Please get in touch with us about volunteer opportunities. Contact Us!
Rockwood
Currently, no change – there is no climbing permitted at Rockwood. The stakeholders have no interest in allowing climbing at this time.
Campden
The Niagara Conservation Authority is still undergoing an ecological assessment of the cliff in order to protect the bat population. Because of this Campden is still closed for climbing, but we remain in constant contact with the NCA.
Cow Crag
We have published parking and access guidelines – click here to see the latest.
Devil’s Glen
The situation is ongoing. For the latest news and new parking guidelines, click here.
Metcalfe
We have porta-potties again this season (Yay!). The porta-potties are a collaboration between Arc’teryx and the OAC. The OAC is also hard at work with a parking expansion project. We will keep you posted on developments.
Lion’s Head
Paid parking continues to be enforced. For tips and best practices for a fun day at Lion’s Head, click here.
The Nooks, Sudbury (*new guidebook)
The Nooks is one of Ontario’s newest bouldering areas, featuring over 150 problems. You can purchase a new The Nooks Guidebook here. This is a newly developed area, where special care is required to minimize climber impact: stay on the trails, and no camping.
