Another day of escarpment climbing...
Jun. 10th, 2013 01:49 pmAnd, Sunday I was out climbing on the Niagara escarpment again -- at Mount Nemo (conservation area) in the Halton Hills area, which is far more "classically" escarpment territory. Got another 7 climbs in, mostly top-rope/follow this time, though I did lead an easy sport route and a 5.7 trad route. Got on some harder stuff -- some of it clean, other bits with falls.
Having climbed at a couple locations on escarpment limestone, I don't need to go back. It is fine cragging, but not destination climbing, and probably not worth the drive from Ottawa for a return visit. Not to say that I wouldn't go climbing on it again, should I happen to be in that area.
