Nova Scotia Ice Climbing Guide

[peter]

Did anyone print off, and throw in their basement, behind their lava lamps and crocs, a copy of the NS Kingsley ice climbing guide, that used to be on the web? I had one once upon a time, but clearly used it to check the oil in my car, at some point, on a road trip or otherwise. CNS might have a copy, but is having trouble locating it. If anyone can help, drop me an email at mcveypc@gov.ns.ca. I want to work up some route info for the upcoming season. PDiddy

I now have the text of the old guide, but many of the photos are not archived.

im no ice climber but what about tatamagouche...drysdale falls seems like a good place to ice climb....

Did you try emailing the two email links?

Drysdale Falls: Yes, we climbed there last February. Small but well formed. See http://pic1.piczo.com/mcmac-in-france/?g=27497735 and scroll down to the Feb 23/07 entry (three quarters of the way down the page).

I emailed one of the links, but it has bounced back empty.

cool theres tons of bouldering in the tatamagouche area too...maybe even potential for top roping at drysdale falls in the summer

Things are a little hot there, right now, with buddy drowning this summer and all, aren't they? Sounded to me like the property owners and RCMP were going to work together to keep people away from the Falls.

Hi Peter, Long time no see. After your post I've been looking around again for my ice guide but still can't find it. I was in at the Trail Shop (where I bought mine a couple of years ago) this morning and asked whether there were any old copies floating around out the back. They had one by Andrew Parsons from circa '95. It wasn't the same as the one I got as there were no photos and it was ring bound. It was the only one they had but were happy to lend it out. I don't know if this is of any assistance to you but I thought I'd mention it just in case.

Cheers, Graeme

Excellent. That at least keeps the resource nailed down in one place. Will we see you out this winter?
