visit to Sydney Nova Scotia

Postby climbingstevie » Thu Sep 02, 2010 12:56 am

Hi,

Next week I will leave my home in Fontainebleau to visit Sydney Nova Scotia from next Sunday the 5th till Friday 10th (work..). Would love to go bouldering, and found some very nice looking pictures on the net. Unfortunately I can't seem to find the location of the places. Annyways, its always better to go climbing with locals! Would someone on this forum be around to show me some rocks??

Next time you are in Fontainebleau I will be able to return the favor..

Wrong bit of Nova Scotia. You want to be around Halifax for boulders - a 4-5 hour drive from Sydney. There are some problems near Louisbourgh but I haven't found too many quality lines.

All the "know" bouldering in cape breton is located at Lorraine Head. Their is also multi-pitch sport, mixed, & trad climbing in Cape Clear ( outside of margree ).

Google maps link below, 45 min drive from Sydney.

I was there last spring, its ok for a day trip, but I'll never need to go back. If you have facebook, there are some pictures from the trip in the link below.
