K.13.4 Icewall today at 3:00 pm Should be good for Saturday. This is the Talk About Good Wall.In total there are 9 routes in this area along a 150 meter polished granite wall. Interesting enough,this wall lies alongside an Glacial Terminal moraine that was breached by the early Chippewa river once the glacial pond reached about 50 meters deep Mile 38 cuts through the moraine at Km.13.2.

In Batchawana Bay, off the Carp River Road at Km.9 is a large hill called Mamainse Mountain. It is alsao known as CERRO DE HIEL (Mountain of Ice). We have been climbing there since winter 2000. On Cold winter days when its clear sky, its a destination for climbers. WHY? Because all ice flows face south and they get the warm?? sunshine all day.
The red lines mark the route and the numbers represent the climbing grade 2

We have been ice climbing along Mile 38 road since 2000. Today we walked up a small creek bed and discovered at the cliff 2 new waterfalls. Not the easiest hike, but it will certainly be worth the snowshoe this winter

Short BUT Sassy Wall is located near River Bend Rock on Mile 38 Road. Its a great beginner site, with easy access and all grades of rock climbs. A fun place for kids and adults to begin Rock Climbing. It will be included in a new rock climbing guidebook to Km.1 Mile 38 Road.

Underground Ice Formations. As water drips from the roof of a cave it freezes up to form formations similar to karst formations

The most accessible ICE CLIMB in the area is the Ice climb in Searchmont at the end of Hult Road. From the parking area, it is a 6 minute hike to the icewall. This Icewall gets visited by Ice Climbers from throughout the region, due to accessibility and the various grades of climbing. Here are a few photos.
