Sport Climbing at Mount Nemo

Saturday, June 8, 2019 The Group will meet at 9:30 a.m. in the parking lot on Guelph Line and Colling Road Mount Nemo is the largest Escarpment crag in the Toronto area with more than 200 sport and trad routes. This trip is for more experienced climbers as there is a top-roping ban at Nemo — clifftop anchors for top ropes are not allowed.  Climbers must lead the route from the ground up and then place their own gear on existing fixed anchors if the others want to top-rope it.

Start to the Bon Echo Season is Delayed

We regret to be cancelling climbing at Bon Echo on the Victoria Day long weekend. However, the extreme flooding on the Mazinaw Lake this spring has cost us two crucial weeks in the renovation process. The hut is still a construction site and the large volunteer work party set for the May 11 weekend had to be moved back to the long weekend. The flooding hobbled Smart’s Marina’s efforts to get its docks set up, so we couldn’t have our boat in the water as early as we were hoping to. This had a domino effect. The builder lost two […]
