Rocktype Granite
Altitude 69m a.s.l
Faces SW
First Face offers some of the finest climbing in the province, in both sport and traditional styles. Although the climbs are all single pitches, most are a decent length (~25m). And with the added height of the scree slope rising out of Paces Lake, the exposure is delicious. The rock is of unusually fine quality – much friendlier than most of the granite in Nova Scotia – with flat positive holds and decent friction.
In the off-seasons, the rock catches a fair bit of sun and so tends to be warmer than most other places at these times of year. If there’s no wind the bugs can be bad but if it’s blowing, you can steal a few climbing days here during the peak of bug season. It’s also one of the first cliffs to dry after a rain.
This cliff is on private land. The landowners are o.k. with people rock climbing here, so long as they agree to the following conditions: climb at your own risk pick up any trash that you see lying around (even if it’s not yours) do not camp above the cliff or make fires
