Ontario Crag Cape Croker Re-Opened

With over 40 quality routes, Cape Croker has been a popular Ontario crag for a number of years. Like many destinations in the area, it has gone through stages of being open to climbers and being closed. Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Harry Hoediono and the Ontario Access Coalition (OAC) the wall is once again a place climbers can visit.

Access is now through the Chippewas of Nawash First Nation. The OAC released the following statement: “As always, climbing on other peoples’ lands is a privilege, not a right. Please be on your best behaviour. In particular, tread quietly and lightly, respect the OAC Code of Ethics, and adhere to Leave No Trace principles. This will help preserve access for future generations.” Cape Croker is easily accessed from Wiarton, see here for more.
