Access Issue: From the OAC website, climbing at Lion's Head is "Tolerated: Climbing access not formally permitted, but informally accepted. Tread lightly." Details

From the OAC website, climbing at Lion's Head is "Tolerated as a non-conforming use of the park. Highly sensitive area. Strive for minimal impact and low profile. All fixed protection to be camouflaged. Do not disturb the cottagers. Approach via Bruce Trail entrance.
Good mix of sport and trad, starting at higher grades mostly 5.10 and above. Some routes have anchors. Some routes start from ground, others from hanging belay. Approach is from top; rap in. Extremely complex the first visit."

Description

This area has both a couple of nice sport routes and trad lines.

Getting There

This area is west of the Headspace Area and is between the Merchant & Thieves Area and the B-52 Overhang. Walk about 100 feet west (hiker's left, climber's right) of the Merchant & Thieves wall and rappel at a clearing to reach the ledge. Storm Warning starts from the ground below the ledge.
