Hey for all you chumps who did not get out today. The day was OUTSTANDING. The Stoners had its weekly meeting and some easy, and hard s_h_i_t got sent while some insane OFFWIDTH (chris H you would love this s_h_i_t) will go any day now. For all those addicted to Crack the season is started with a bang. Rumors are the stoners will have a website soon with all the new routes in NS.

PEACE

Mad Jock:

Here's a hint, respecting the morals and morale of the Stoners, based upon our method of route name selection. One route put up yesterday takes its name from the title of this Old Rock Classic:

Sean, Stevo: "Blue Eyed Floozy". What do you think?

I think "Old Rock Classics" could be the basis of all names, since we are putting up old rock classics.

Where were you guys climbing yesterday (which crag)? You sound pretty psyched! :D Route development makes me happy too!

Hi Kate,
This crag is known as "The Cave" and is on the "Admiral loop trail" accessed from the Musquodoboit rails to trails. The crag is small but has great features.
Details and photos will follow soon but briefly it now has four decent trad routes.

Troglodyte: 5.8. Start at 'The Cave' sign, climb middle of wall and traverse R under overhang.

Blue Eyed Floozy: 5.7. Corner, overhang and crack in middle of cliff.

Fat Bottomed Girl : 5.8 bouldery start. This climbs up middle of feature looking remarkably like big bottom. Finish direct up slab.

Jenny Wren: 5.6. Overhang and crack at R end of cliff.

Cheers
Steve

Hey Mad Jock,
Your missing out dude. The stoners are going strong. As for Moral vice morale (stupid wine) :lol: spelling while sober is bad after a bottle of wine look out. We are know I have littel to no morals :)

The 5.6 is a great climb for its length (about 8 meters) with alot of features and even a roof. The gear is bomber. Some great climbs.

hi Steve,

is this area AKA the Railway Crag, or is it just another cliff in the same area?

There is still potential for routes in that area, also some pretty cool boulders.

Kate,
This crag is in the forest above Railway Crag. I discovered it while hiking last year on one of the recently developed trails. There has also been some climbing activity on a small crag to the north of Railway at about the same elevation adjacent to the disused railway line, thought neither of these cliffs are mentioned in the latest climbing guide. There are a number of other cliffs in this region awaiting development, including the fabled "Promised Land", and also a huge number of boulders yet to be touched. A fine place to explore.

Cheers
Steve
