Yeah that's the one, just before the left turn onto the highway to the airport. It's on the left just after a gas station as you are driving out to Musquodoboit on the 107 (Main St.). If anyone needs a better description or if the weather is iffy my number is 826 9008, I'll be heading out about 9.30 am.
Cheers

Peter, I called you this morning. But one of your girls said you weren't home. Anyhoo, it was a sweet day today! I jumped on the sharp end at about 11:40am, and we didn't walk off the top till 7pm. Pictures are in the link below.

Seven hours and twenty minutes to lead a route?? I think that might be some sort of record for main face Conan! :wink:

I feel your pain Peter. I'm sitting here at home today too while Cara is in Boston and reading all these posts of people going out climbing. arrrggg
I want to go to hell... there's probably lots of rock to climb there.

I was just five minutes shy of finishing a 15 mile run. Ya baby! But after that, the Daddy duties started, and have continued all weekend (Leanne is in France, lucky bugger).

Fred, it gets easier when all they need is your car and your money.

that Ice was pretty solid too. I pulled off a rock bigger than my two hands and dropped it from 30' up, the rock bounced off the ice, and broke in two.

Fred, that is Popcorn.

Glad you guys had fun today, i was stuck in the gym spoiling 4 little kids bday party because they couldn't stop breaking the rules.

Nathan and I got out today in Ontario too. It was cold, but bearable.....and it actually felt like the rock had some friction for once!! (assuming you were warmed up enough to feel said rock)
