Woodlot pebble wrastlin'

Postby Murph » Mon Aug 13, 2007 6:38 pm

Anyone interested in bouldering in the woodlot sometime this week (Wednesday?) I know everyone else says it's not that greatest spot, but I’m willing to try it out. Any takers?

The Woodlot is good fun man. You might need to bring a wire brush. Friction is usually a bit better in Sept Oct but if you wait for the evening it might cool down a bit. I might be up for it but have to see what my plans are...
I want to go to hell... there's probably lots of rock to climb there.

This morning I was too tired and hung-over to drive down to Welsford, so later in the afternoon I cleared a crash pad friendly trail so that the bouldering can be accessed from the eastern end of the woodlot. To get there, park at Maritime fencing and piping(?) on Alison Blvd and walk down the newly constructed road and take the first left. Continue past the holding pond and take the second right. Go down that road for about 100m and enter the trail on the left where there is 2 orange flagging tape. Follow the flagging until you cross a small brook. There is an old guard rail which acts as a bridge. Look through the woods and you will see Thighmaster (V4). Walking in from the eastern side took me less than 10 minutes to get there as compared to 30 minutes or more from the other end.
