I drove a toyota echo to the very top of the cliff no problem on the way in, back out however, after a couple days of rain, the puddles were bumper height, good thing its 4 wheel drive or we would have been screwed, what a car.
You can walk to the bottom as easily as rapping, there are a couple splitter cracks on wave wall the rest (majority) would either be bold trad or mixed climbs with seroious potentail for some crazy, hard, long sport routes but.... From what I saw, would require alot of cleaning. Not so much lichen but alot of exfoliation. I have seen much worse cliffs develop into awesome sport areas once well traveled (white bluff, ontario). That said, it is a decent amount of work getting their with the roads in current state and the area undeveloped (personally thats why I liked about the area). If this cliff was near halifax or fredericton it would be an awesome destination especially with traffic and cleaning.
For anyone going there don't expect a mecca, view it as an adventure and if new routes come out of it great, if not the rest of the area has tremendous exploration potentail, in this light no one would be disappointed visiting.
If anyone wants to go back I would go for sure, and fred, i will gladly drive your car in!
