Free Spirit tours originally started this event as a garbage clean up around Metcalfe Rock after the spring melt in the year 2000. Since then they have added to it by to spreading wood chips along the trails thanks to “Blue Mountain Four Season Landscaping”. If you have a wheelbarrow or a rake please bring it along and meet us in the Metcalfe parking lot at 10am.
In exchange for people coming out and donating their time and energy we have some great prizes to give away that have been donated by local stores. Additionally, the OAC will be chipping in on the prize front with some great prizes from MEC that you wont want to miss!

We hope you can join the OAC and Free Spirit tours for this great chance to help keep Metcalfe rock clean and to show the local community and land managers that climbers care. Stick around after the clean for the great climbing that Metcalfe has to offer.”

2012 Garlic Pull

By Events

Join the OAC and friends at Rattlesnake Point on Sunday, May 6, 2012 for the second annual “Garlic Pull, BBQ and Climbing Session.” This event is a great opportunity brought to you by the OAC and Conservation Halton to help preserve the environment in the places we climb.

Garlic mustard is an invasive species that slowly destroys the existing ecosystem. The plant is spreading on Conservation Halton lands and will eventually decimate large parts of the forests. Join your fellow climbers for the garlic mustard pull and enjoy free access to Rattlesnake Point for the day, a delicious BBQ, big prize draws and, of course, a great day of climbing. We look forward to seeing you at 9am! All you need to bring is a pair of gardening gloves, a big appetite and your climbing gear. 🙂

Please help spread word of the event and bring along friends and family. This event is rain or shine. See you there!

Come Climb at Lake Kushog

By Access, News

The rock and ice climbing around Lake Kushog offers wonderful opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, but amazingly it isn’t well known. The Firehouse Restaurant has reached out to the OAC to reach out and build a long-term relationship with the climbing community. Together, we have identified areas of concern and erected signage clearly communicating best practices for that area. Even a Climbers’ Special menu item has been announced to encourage climbers to refuel in the restaurant after climbing.


2012 Ontario Crags Calendar update

By News

Thank you for those of you who helped make the Ontario Crags calendar fund-raising drive a success!  This project raised over $1,700 towards supporting sustainable climbing access initatives in the province.

It has recently been brought to our attention that dates for the month of July are incorrect on the OAC 2012 Crags Calendar.  The printing company has kindly offered to correct the misunderstanding free of charge and a limited edition of corrected calendars are currently available for exchange at the Toronto MEC. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope this results in many accidental extended climbing vacations being booked!
