Rock climbing
Bon Echo weekend - Ox Roast
Every year, climbers gather on the shore of Mazinaw Lake to get in some quality climbing, reflect on the wonderful season we've had, eat stuff cooked in a fire pit, and drink too much.
This year is no different. Hurray for tradition!
Cost is $40 for ACC Members (must have membership card!) and $60 for Non-members, $20 for under 16s.
The Ox Roast custodian is Geoff Hodgson, 416-305-9480.
As with all Bon Echo weekends, you *must* get in touch with the custodian if you plan to attend, in order to arrange boat pickup.
