Ontario Climbing Access Group Discusses Ongoing Access Issues
The Ontario Alliance of Climbers held a virtual town hall to discuss the ongoing access issues and how we're tackling them
The Ontario Alliace of Climbers (OAC) held a virtual town hall this week that had over 160 attendees tune in throughout the night. There was a great discussion about access issues at some key Ontario crags, such as Campden, Rockwood and the Turtle (all of which are currently closed to climbing).
Access was discussed in depth, as well as lockdown restrictions and some much needed talk about our mandate as an organization.
