Welsford guidebook

[Amk81]

Des anyone know where I can get one of these books? I've heard about them but can't seem to track one down...

Check out the Rad Edge downtown

The new edition to 'A Rock Climber's Guide to New Brunswick' is set for release in June this year.
There are over 275 new routes and many new areas covered.
It will be available at Radical Edge in Fredericton, River & Trail in Rothesay and MEC in Halifax. I will also be selling it online through my website.


If you're looking for the 2007 guidebook, I would contact Fred directly. You can PM him on this forum. I'm pretty sure The Radical Edge stopped carrying the guidebook.

Dom - you should also consider having Rick Wilcox at IME in North Conway carry the rock guide as well. I can't remember if he used to carry Fred', but I'm certain he had some of Joe's Ice guide (though there were none there this weekend, so he has sold out at this time). I'm sure he's sell for you.

There are still copies of the guidebook available at Radical Edge.

Check the Radical Edge first. Failing that... I noticed 5-6 copies on the shelf at MEC in Halifax on the weekend.

Hi y'all,

My GF and I will be headed for Welsford area from Quebec City in a few hours. We'll reach Fredericton around 10 PM if all goes according to plans. By any chance, anyone could hook us up with a guidebook (or photocopies) for a few days? I know, I know, I am pushing my luck a bit (and it won't rain, right!?)! Rad Edge will be closed when we'll reach town and MEC here in Quebec City doesn't carry the book (shame on us/them). (And to be honnest, we'd rather wait for the new guidebook to come out instead of spending our bucks on the old one.) The generous soul who will answer this call is eligible for a free pint at the joint of his choice (in Fredericton/on the way to Welsford as much as possible). MSG us at 418.440-six-two-eight-seven!

We are planning to go to Sunnyside for day 1 and "figure it out" by ourselves in the absence of a guidebook. I guess this is the best call for us without a topo. We also plan to tour a bit (Fredericton, St-John, Moncton) between now and Wed. the 3rd. MSG us as well if you wanna tag along and climb!

Cheers,

pa

Sunnyside topo: http://oppositeandopposed.blogspot.ca/2011/06/open-source-sunnyside-topo.html

Cochrane Lane Guide (circa 1995): http://oppositeandopposed.blogspot.ca/2012/02/baker-et-als-1995-guide-to-climbing-in.html

Obviously neither will be as up to date as the new guidebook when it arrives shortly... but I think you'll find enough stuff to climb for a few days eh. Worth a beer?

I had the foot in the door, leaving right away! Fantastic timing Chris, definitely worth a beer, if you come get it at the camping spot at Cochrane Lane

Or some Ricard. I know, pretty French, eh.

Thanks guys, these references were good enough for a first visit. We had a good vacation overall, and four days of climbing in spite of the rain. Who knows, see you at Welsford next year (coz this time around we saw no one at the cliffs !).

Dommage qu'il a plu autant...

What crags did you hit and what were your favourites?

[peapaquet]

We didn't have much choice, we picked what was dry. Some easy lines at the right end of Joe's Garage kept us busy for most of a day (Sticky Fingers, decently wet, Mammalian Protuberances, Snake Peel, and Its a Way of Life, all dry - Snake Peel being the most interesting I'd say), and we finished up on Minkey's Warm and Sultry Evening (a great route - our favorite). The next day on King Arthur's (Salt and Pepper, 5.8 for Style), and up those striking detached flakes on the far right of the wall (we down climbed to a pile of boulder above Pyramid Wall, climbed those, to the single-bolted face and that traverse on moving chockstones and finally up... definitely not 5.7 as we guessed according to the old guidebook...), then some more easy stuff on Pyramid... We also spent a day at Sunnyside - easy 11s ! - it was OK for that one time, but after having climbed at Cochrane, I wouldn't go back there !
