INTERESTING ROCKS FOUND BY MILLAGEVILLE.

Postby Climbing4life » Tue Apr 01, 2008 1:10 pm

Off Millage Ave On Kennebecasis Dr , there is a turn around/parking area by the water. Across the Street from there(by the UNB Trails) i saw a little cliff area with some ice on it , not very big , but i went for a run through the woods behind and to the left of it and found some boulders (biggest was at least 6 maybe 7 feet) and some possible bouldering areas that if it was good rock would just need some TLC. i only looked for 10 mins or some cause my GF was in my car and thought i just went across the RD for 1 second (haha).
Does anyone know of the rock i speak of? it looked ok to climb from what i could tell but im so bad at judging stuff like that. Im gonna go back and get some pics soon.

Cheers

I've encountered a lot of rock in that part of the City. It's part of the kenebecasis conglomerate formation, and unfortunately most is choss. (Short and crumbly.) However, there are a few choice problems. If I'm reading the map the same way you did, I've not been to that specific area. I've seen a lot around that area and can only think of two reasonable lines, but keep checking back (in a month or so all the moisture will be out of the rock and you'll get a better inderstanding of the quality) and let me know.

upon looking again , it is pretty much all flowery , there was one boulder problem out of the whole area that is about 12 feet maybe. not worth the effort in cleaning and whatnot.

all well , thanks for all the responses.

cheers
