WHEN: September 28th, 2025
WHERE:Mount Nemo Conservation Area (Reservations recommended).
DESCRIPTION: Mount Nemo is the largest Escarpment crag in the Toronto area with more than 200 sport and trad routes. There is a top-roping ban at Nemo — clifftop anchors for top-ropes are not allowed, so climbers must lead the route from the ground up and then build an anchor for others to top-rope it. Therefore several lead climbers will be needed.
MAX. PARTICIPANTS: 10, at the trip leader’s discretion and pending volunteer availability. All participants should be comfortable with top-rope belaying. Familiarity with lead belaying and cleaning anchors is beneficial.
REQUIRED GEAR: Climbing helmet (mandatory), climbing harness, climbing shoes, belay device and pear-shaped locking carabiner and any other personal items (e.g. lunch & snacks for the day, water, appropriate clothing, sunglasses, sunscreen, bug spray, day pack, etc., …).
OPTIONAL GEAR: Stick clip, personal tether (e.g. Sewn sling, PAS, Petzl Connect, etc., …), at least 2 locking carabiners, quickdraws, trad rack and rope.
COST: Participants are responsible for their own park reservations and gate fees to Conservation Halton Parks.
