Weather Wall

International > N America > Canada > Newfoundland &… > Newfoundland > S Coast / Burin… > Swift Current

Description

The most exposed of the Swift Current areas, closer to the top of the hill and away from the trees a little more. The view is beautiful and it is a good spot if it has been wet as it dries much quicker, but the rock isn't quite as good quality as the lower areas. The routes are fun never the less and it is well worth the longer hike in.

The top of the crag can be accessed via a 5.8 sport route or an easy scramble up blocks on the left side of the wall so that top ropes can be set on other routes.

Getting There

From the Halfway Wall continue up the hill to reach a small clearing on top. There is a trail leading from the back of the clearing through the woods to the wall. The trail is marked with orange tape all the way from the entrance of the woods past Tiger Wall and Halfway Wall up to the face.
