This photo of @misswii by @willtam85 didn't make it into next year's Ontario Crag's Calendar, but two others did! You'll have to get your own copy to see what they are 👀 It's a difficult process to select which photos make it in each year, and even if yours didn't make it, you may see it on our socials -- or a calendar for another year! We keep all submissions in mind for future years, to help us find a balance of different crags. This year we have climbs captured everywhere from the Niagara Glen, to Milton, the Beaver Valley, Sudbury, Calabogie, Schooner Lake, and Orient Bay! It really is a celebration of climbing across the province. Order yours today and get it in time for the holidays! You can even order one to be directly sent to someone else -- it'll be a gift that lasts all year! 🔗 Link in bio #ontario #climbing #access #climbingphotography #calendar #giftideas

As the climbing season starts to wind down, we'd like to take a moment to recognize crags where climbing is not only tolerated but celebrated! We'd also like to share some important reminders about climber responsibility and proper processes and procedures when climbing at @conservationhalton (CH) Parks (Mount Nemo, Kelso & Rattlesnake). Most importantly, please remember that the addition of any permanent climbing hardware, creation of new routes, or modification of existing routes (or altering of/tampering with existing hardware) is strictly prohibited without the express written consent of CH. Should you have recommendations on routes or hardware installation, please contact the Ontario Alliance of Climbers (OAC) so that we can contact our partners at CH and discuss potential changes. Existing worn-out hardware which poses a safety risk may either be replaced or maintained, but new bolting on managed land requires land manager permission. You can report bad bolts online(🔗 in our bio), and we will ensure that this information reaches the appropriate people. We address this matter following the discovery of recently added hardware that were installed without proper permissions. These actions can lead to the creation of unmanageable and possibly unsafe routes that could be detrimental to the environment and our climbing community. CH is a valued partner to the climbing community and one of our best models for relationships with land managers. CH openly supports rock climbing at some of their parks -- including many crags you're familiar with such as Mount Nemo, Kelso, Rattlesnake Point, Bottle Glass and Buffalo Crag. As good ambassadors for the outdoors, please climb responsibly and respect the land and its managers. CH works hard to protect these spaces for everyone's enjoyment. Climbers can help by staying on established trails and climbing routes, minimizing their impact. CH staff are responsible for trail maintenance and site care. If you see a fallen tree or other vegetation hazard, please let us know so that we can request that it be addressed. Thank you for helping protect access, preserve the environment, and keep our community safe!

Our Annual Survey is now live! Help us understand the Ontario climbing community by telling us about yourself, where you climb, and what your hopes are for Ontario climbing access. The survey takes less than 15 minutes to complete. Complete the survey by midnight on November 30th to be entered into a draw to win a free OAC T-shirt! 🔗 Link in bio. #ontario #climbing #access #survey
