Rockwood Park Climbing - Saint John

Postby Andrew » Thu Jun 28, 2007 10:58 am

For those local to Saint John and the Rockwood Park area who don't know, there is a small cliff with top-anchors and 3 lead (bolted) routes near the entrance to the campground in Rockwood Park. If you are really hard up for a climb or are new and need a place outdoors to learn, this is a great place. It's free and open 365 24/7 and is also semi-lit at night.

I thought it might be useful, esp. since one of our climbing areas is unavailable at the moment and with the local indoor wall closed until September.

If you need a guide, try my website. I will have a PDF to download on my site and Fred's Beta-Source website very soon. It is done, just request it from me if you wish.

Yeah man, I think I'd sooner take my ice axes to a tree than climb there... wait a minute...
It's a nice diversion if you are down there allready, but I don't know if I'd go out of my way, man.
