Description
Under the lookout down the trail is a fun little ledge overlooking the Exploits River. Fishermen sometimes hangout below to catch salmon in the shade made by the cliff in the afternoon.
The Name "Razor's Ledge" was inspired by the safety razors we found down there while cleaning and grooming the route. The rock itself had some sharp edges that have been worn down to make it safer for climbers and their ropes.
Now the climb is a neat little toprope with a couple extra bolts to help a climber have some safety getting to the ancho point.
From the top, there's 2 bolt/hangers placed to aid in getting to the anchor with a short via ferrata technique to traverse horizontally.
Location
This climb is father down the park trail than the others, but worth the walk along the river. There's a lookout on the right side after going down the stairs headed east. If you follow the river trails going downstream you'll find it near the landing platform for the last line of a zipline course over the river.
There's a trail behind the "Danger" sign that the hydro damn put in place to get to the river's edge under the cliff. Also near that sign you'll have access to the top of the routes there.
