Climb Eastern Canada

Might I suggest another 2 pitch climb?

I think that Dash of Fall Memory could use an anchor just above the first buldge section before you start the crack.

I think that would make a nice hanging belay station.

I have been reading the "worst photos of RC.com" thread, it was kinda interesting/funny but the photos now are just links, so that thread is useless

Without imbedded images and decent quoting the who forum is pretty useless.

The feel there has been lost.

Hey man, all are welcome here. Even though it is a small group and we almost exclusively speak about climbing in eastern Canada. Your welcome to pull up a chair

So Mitt,

Lets talk about all the ice we are going to climb when Rebecca and I are in NS for X-Mas.

We fly in the 14th and will be leaving on the 26th.

Sounds like a trip to Parlee Brook will be in order. It is one place you can be pretty much guaranteed ice at that time of year.

Let us know if/when you go and we'll come in too!

Marths is right. Xmas is bad time of year for ice on East coast. Even NB hurts for ice that time of year. NS is even warmer. Parlee Brook (3hours from Halifax) for some reason is like a nebula. Ice forms down there like it does in your deepfreez at home.

You might find some ice in the Cape Breton highlands. Might be colder there. John Bowles scoped out some stuff at Cape Clear last year. A bit of a slog though.

So where is this Parlee Brook you speak of Cara?

We really don't have a whole lot planned yet. We will likely be busy with the family the weekend before X-Mas and after, but we are probably free otherwise.

We are thinking of taking a few days to go up to Cape Breton and do some exploring, but we can fit that in when ever.

Anyone who wants to get out with us let us know when, and we can try and work out a plan.

Last year we were climbing on rock when we were back for X-Mas. :lol:

Parlee Brook is about 20 min from Sussex New Brunwick here

around Cedar Camp and Waterford to the right of sussex on the map

check out photos this link from Joe Kennedy's ice climbing in NB website. See two photos for Parlee.

My plan is to see when other people are free and make something happen. :mrgreen:

We have 8 or 9 days without anything really planned yet, and I really don't look forward to hanging out at the in-laws the whole time.

What days do you have open Mr. Mitt?

by **The Mitt** » Fri Nov 17, 2006 11:42 pm

15 Dec - 23 Dec. I may be duty for one of those days.

Did you track us down? :wink:

You still playing at RC.com? I haven't logged on there for 3 or 4 days now.

Ya, a bit of both. Brent pointed me in the right direction.

As for RC.com... I said I would give it a chance and see hpoe much I can deal with. I did help get the TR forum back! Woot!
The Feel is gone and we have been invaded by easily insulted Gravity Slutts who can't take a joke and thing there is no difference between DZ.crap and the new RC.imisstheold :roll:

I'm doing what I can over there.... making 'friends' left right and center... :twisted:

The DZ riff raff is slowing down and drifting away a bit... and it looks like we'll be getting some of the old stuff back soon. That Sangrio is a Fckn Prik! DDT seems ok, I've had some correspondence with him and was happy to hear that he is beyond overwhelmed with the disgust of the long time members...

Any who, back to reno's, and ICE tomorrow... Till then.

Thanks for the link and other info Fred.

So Mitt, it sounds like you will have a lot of free time too. When will you know if you have duty of not?

I'm not sure how much Rebecca will be up for, as she still won't be 100% as far as leg strength goes. So she may not be in with going climbing.

I'll be up for whatever. I'm not sure if I'll have access to a car, but I'll have gas money, an ice rack, and I'm house broken. :mrgreen:

If Rebecca and I go up to Cape Breton it would probably be mid-week. So maybe the 15th-17th would be good to get out climbing. The 23rd and after will probably be family time.

by **The Mitt** » Sat Nov 18, 2006 5:12 pm

I will know by the end of the month. I am up for a 1-2 day trip.

Mitt

by **chossmonkey** » Sat Nov 18, 2006 5:59 pm

Sounds good Mitt, lets make something happen then.

What would a one or two day trip get us out there?

by **martha** » Sun Nov 19, 2006 1:28 pm

If there is snow and the cars can't get in to the partking, there is a long approach for Parlee Brook (up to a 1 hour hike/snowshoe), so I don't know Granite_Grrl if you will be feeling up to the task. However, with no snow, you are looking at an easy 5-10 minute approach.

Choss Monkey, if you go in and if Granite_Grrl can't go in or can't stay for a long time, Fred and I will be taking turns at climbing because one of us will have to stay with Marie-France. We can all hang together if that works out for you guys.

There are coffee shops to be had.

You guys are both of course welcome to come to Fredericton for a day or two and hang with us if you like. We've got a nice big spare room and lots of climbing movies.

Lots of other stuff to do in Fredericton too.

Cheers.

I think I'll decide to even bring my ice gear with just before we leave. I'm hoping to be able to climb, but I'm not counting on it.
