Description Suggest change

The Latvian Ledge area is one of the more popular areas on the cliff. It contains a wide variety of difficulties with most of them being sport routes from the ground.

*** Latvian Ledge Update ***
Please be advised as of June 9, 2020, the Ontario Alliance of Climbers has issued the following access update: OAC Access Update 6/9/20
"The OAC has been informed of the temporary removal of all moderate Latvian Ledge routes for the purposes of rehabilitation. These routes represent the bulk of moderate routes at Lions Head. Please ensure your plans do not require these routes to be available, and remember that top roping [from trees] at Lions Head is not permitted."

To keep updated on Ontario rock climbing - please check their website at the OAC Website. 

Getting There Suggest change

The easiest way to get to Latvian Ledge is probably to take the Stinger gulley fourth class descent and walk back west (climber's right) to the area. Alternatively you can rappel down about 500 feet past (east of) the Lion's Head lookout and rappel at a dihedral corner a short ways to a ledge below. The line to your right on the rappel down is Lefty.
