Description

A large concentration of routes by Nova Scotia standards (approx 100 routes), with a healthy mix of sport and trad. The climbing is often adventurous and dirty, but certainly home to some high-quality routes. You will find some multi-pitch here.

This is an area that you would want a topo or local beta for navigating.

Getting There

Drive down highway 357 from Musquodobit Harbour Junction. Shortly thereafter you will see a gated logging road on your left. Park off of the road here and venture down the logging road, turning left at the sugarshack, until you find a cabin at the end. Total approach is 30-40 mins.
