Here is a better map.

And click on the “Directions” button above the map for detailed directions to the crag.

The Nova Scotia Climber’s Resource web page was designed to give climbers access to the information they need to climb in Nova Scotia. I hope to do some updates once I get my new computer.

Referring to Teth's map; has anyone explored the area on the far right of the scapper map or the area across the lake from columbus wall or directly under the words directions on the musquodobit map?

The area right of the Skapper map is visible from the “S” turn of the old highway. It is too chossy to be worth climbing, but I have heard of people repelling off it.

I am not sure about the area across Paces Lake. I assume the lake itself has been checked. The Bow Wall is off the left side of the map. (Discovered after I produced the map.) There may be other gems in there.

The close contours at the top of the map could be accessed via the old rail line (transCanada trail?) Probably quickest to continue up the valley to where the road crosses the river, hike east to the old rail bed/trail, and backtrack south. I remember seeing a cliff in this area while looking across the river from the parking area for Columbus, but I have not had a chance to check it out. A new crag was found along the old rail bed, called “The Cave”, but it might be farther south.

The Musquodoboit Valley could use further investigation.
