The Crags~In the Park

First Ascent!

Kjell on Fulford Flake, 5.8

Impacted Wisdom, 5.10c

Ken on his new line Impacted Wisdom, a 5.10c established September, 2000.  The base of Bayne's Peak is proving quite fruitful in terms of traditional new route development.  Several 5.9's & 5.10's are staring us in the face just begging to be climbed: many in the 90'-100' range and fairly sustained.

 

My first bolted lead

Maxwell's Nuckles is a small crag in the woods well below Bayne's Peak.  This is the only major quarzite deposit on the island and has one bolted route: Holy Smoke, 5.9 which was my first bolted lead.  This is a shot of me being spotted by Linda on the bouldery start.

Peter belaying Linda

Peter belaying Linda to the top of Holy Smoke after his first time leading the line.  It would be nice to have more bolted lines but the rock eats up drill bits and the crag is quite a hike in from the road...

Time for a piece of gear...

Here's Kjell on the first  ascent of Fulford Flake, 5.8
