Things to do in Welsford

"It was not long before we came to a second sign, again pointing left toward the cliff towering above, this time saying 'Pyramid Wall'. The group decided to explore this path and it was not long before we ran straight into the bottom section of the cliffs. One of the things that the military uses this part of the base for is rappelling and rock-climbing exercises. Looking at the impressively sheer flat surface of Pyramid Wall, we could see where small metal clamps had been attached in various locations to assist with any rock climbing efforts. However, we had neither the equipment or inclination for anything approaching that level of dare-devilness, so we just had a good look before continuing onward."

Here's another good one.....
"A short but pleasant walk through the farmer's field, past his herd of sheep and goats, soon found us on the edge of the typical Spruce, Fir, Birch and Pine forests of New Brunswick. Looming in the background, is the 700-800 foot (210-240 m) high sheer rock wall that we intended to explore as much as we could within the short time that we had available."

If I'm posting here, I'm probably at work.

So many people call it Mountain Climbing rather than Rock Climbing.

It's just funny.
