Members may share ropes and gear, but please ensure that your gear is well maintained and bring enough gear to be self-sufficient and safe.
This trip is suitable for competent outdoor climbers (lead or top-tope), but is not suitable for those new to or inexperienced with outdoor climbing. This is neither a guided trip nor a clinic. All members will be individually responsible for managing their own safety.

Tappings Bay Boat Launch, 13 N Mazinaw Heights Rd, Cloyne, ON K0H 1K0, Canada

This weekend is about empowering senior climbers, and their allies. As with all our Bon Echo weekends, everyone is welcome. Please respect the goal for past senior members that have climbed at Bon Echo. There will be a limited number of spots open. This is an opportunity to get out with a great group of people, share climbing stories and climb! This trip is trad climbing only.
The cliff at Bon Echo is in a beautiful setting, rising 300 feet out of Lake Mazinaw. There is a large number of existing trad routes, from 5.0 to 5.12. However, there is no sport climbing.
Because the cliff lies within a provincial park, there are rules that must be observed (mandatory helmets is one). Make yourself familiar with them at the section website: alpineclubtoronto.ca/bonecho/ (http://alpineclubtoronto.ca/bonecho/)
