Previous closure info: The cliff is on private land and the owner has been incredibly generous by allowing folks to literally climb in his backyard. Unfortunately, the noise levels at the cliff have reached the point where the landowner is no longer comfortable with climbers visiting the cliff. We are currently working with the Ontario Access Coalition to address the landowner's legitimate concerns. It was good while it lasted! #OntarioClimbing ( ontarioclimbing.com/News/Cl…)

Description

A new area developed in Spring 2017 with closely bolted beginner and moderate sport routes. Lots of routes have steep sections so can feel tough for the grade. The area is on private property with a supportive landowner that lives approx. 100m downhill from the cliff, so be on your best behaviour to keep this area opened.

Getting There

From the parking lot at Walkers Line and Side Road 2, walk along the Bruce Trail to the base of the cliff and go left (don't go up the ladder).
