Route Beta

Here's some more new route info for the Madawaska area.

Ice Routes at Blackcat Hill, Madawaska Highlands

Blackcat Hill is a distant, remote crag that has a number of long and interesting routes, some of which last well into April. It is one of the few crags in Southern Ontario that faces north. It gets practically no sun in the winter months, and then only some in the late afternoon in March/ April. As a result it can be painfully frigid at the base of the crag, even in March. It is a long drive from Toronto and a slog to get to.

Here's information on an area where we've put up some new ice routes in the last two years.

Kluke Lookout (Bear Mountain), Madawaska Highlands, Ontario

Here's an update on new ice routes that were put up at Sherborne Lake this year (and a few from previous years).

Hey - Nova Scotia climbers looking to be in Ontario late August - any idea where I'd find beta on Haliburton rock routes? Thanks

I just joined the AAC, and was looking for a little Beta. I'm planning a trip to go ice climbing north of Toronto over the weekend of Jan 3rd, and have been doing a little research on exactly where to go. From looking through this website, it seems that there are quite a few places to go, but not many directions on how exactly to get there. Could someone point me to a website, book, or person that I could find more directions on the approaches to these climbs?

i am heading towards algonquin this weekend and wanted to know if anyone can give me some beta on some ice crags in the area. I have never climbed in southern ontario..but frequent the lake superior area on ice trips.

any help would be greatly appreciated!

Anybody up for sharing their list of top ten ice climbs of the east coast?
Since this is intended to inspire, you don't have to claim the tick, to put it on the list...

yes, it's that time of year again, when I start to fixate......

anyways:
in no particular order -
La Pomme d'Or (Malbaie)
La Whittom (Saguenay)
Promenade (Willoughby)
Called on Accounts of the Rain (Willoughby)
Ice Breakers/Reflection Wall/10% Real (Orient Bay)
Positive Thinking and the Waterfall(Pokomoonshine, Dacks)
Power Play Wall (Chapel Pond, Dacks)
Corneille and Canneloni de Cure (Gaspe)

Any online guide availabe? A printed vesion would be OK whioch shops in Toronto, or close to the venue, would have one?

Sorry, my mistake. I meant Rattlesnake Point oops

can anyone tell me anything about this crag? Visiting from the uk for a wedding and this seems to be the most available crag to fit or itinery. However, I'm having difficulty finding a topo on the net or where to pick up a printed one.
