It's March, and rope season is getting an early start for the most eager climbers. 

Turtle Crag registration is now available through the link in our bio πŸ”—

We've made a small change to reservation release times in order to increase fairness for everyone and to prevent timeslots being booked up weeks in advance -- ALL bookings will now open two days in advance, for both weekends and weekdays.

Remember that Turtle Crag is on private property, and there is a strict limit of 12 climbers permitted per day. All climbers must have a reserved permit. If there are no more permits available for the day, Mount Nemo offers a larger variety of climbs of all difficulties, and is just around the corner!

Stay safe out there!

We finally got them!! πŸŽ‰

Featuring local climbers shot by local photographers, the OAC calendar is a tribute to everything Ontario climbing has to offer.  With a mix of climbers, crags, and disciplines featured, there’s no better way to celebrate the growing Ontario climbing scene.

Calendars are available for a $25 donation each, plus shipping via Canada Post.  All proceeds from calendar sales go toward promoting, advocating for, and maintaining open access all across the province. Calendars are shipped in an untracked cardboard envelope for protection.

Online purchases can be made at the link in our bio! πŸ”—

Want to save on shipping? Find our calendar at a gym near you soon!  We'll be dropping them off over the next few days -- we'll announce their arrival as we make our rounds!

The cover photo for 2024 belongs to @dustin.jj , and shows @ty.sarah (and @always_kean) heading up Agitez Bien.  What faces will you recognize this year??
