Bon Echo Custodians for Summer 2011

The 2011 climbing season is already under way. As always, thanks again to all who are volunteering to be a custodian this year. Go easy on the custodians please, they are volunteers and climbing at Bon Echo would not be possible without them. Please follow these few simple guidelines and the guidelines posted in the hut when at Bon Echo:

  • Please be respectful of other guests, the property, the hut and the boat.
  • Carry your share of the load - help the custodian, clean up after yourself.
  • Contact the custodian in advance (latest the Thursday night before the weekend) for reservations and pick-up times.
  • If you want to bring your dog, please enquire when reserving your spot for a two day weekend as to whether dogs are allowed. Dogs are not allowed on long weekends, Ox Roast and some other two day weekends.

When climbing at Bon Echo please climb safely and NEVER sling the trees. The Alpine Club signs a Memorandum of Understanding with Bon Echo Provincial Park every year, and our privilege to climb at Bon Echo hinges on our behavior in the park and on the cliff.

The Bon Echo custodian list is subject to change. Please check back here before calling the custodian. Note that you MUST contact the custodian prior to Thursday if you're planning to attend, in order to insure availability of camp sites, and to schedule your boat pickup.
