Description Suggest change

As of June 2026: climbing is allowed in the area, but climbers must be aware that the first two or three bolts have been cut on nearly all sport routes. A 25-30ft stick clip is strongly recommended. Ontario Parks officers are patrolling the area and incidents between climbers and non-climbing locals have greatly reduced. 

Shady, Secluded (Busy on weekends)

Escarpment Limestone.

very long cliff running east-west,  south facing wall means lots of sun pretty much all day.  

Many ontario classics litter the cliff.  Very cool ambience descending the crevice on the west end into the wide open walls.  

Blackflies and mosquitos can get pretty heinous between June-July.

Getting There Suggest change

Follow 124 towards Singhampton, there is a pile of rocks on the right hand side. Access trail is across the road.
