Docking-out weekend
Custodian: Bryan Thompson 
Saturday, Oct. 19 – Sunday, Oct. 20, 2019


Docking-out marks the end of the climbing season at our hut. A small party of volunteers is needed to help get the dock out in sections so it’s not damaged by ice over the winter. 

Otherwise, it’s climbing as usual. 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/ 

The ACC hut is on the far side of the lake, and most climbers get there by the club boat. Usual pickup times at the public dock are 10:30 p.m. Friday and 10:30 a.m. Saturday. Other times must be arranged ahead of time with the custodian. 


CUSTODIAN: Contact Bryan Thompson at patrowski@hotmail.com by Thursday evening at the latest to let him know your pickup time. As well, it’s recommended you book your spot several weeks in advance as this is a very popular event.

HUT FEES: Members: $20 per day/night. Non-members: $40 per day/night. Fees include boat transport to the dock and cliff.

WHAT TO EXPECT: The hut is for cooking and eating only, with dinnerware and cooking equipment provided. Climbers sleep in their own tents. There is a limited number of campsites.Please pack out your garbage. The last boat trip to the dock is at 5 p.m. Monday (unless the custodian advises otherwise). Please respect the custodian’s right to go home at a reasonable hour.
