Introduction
by LILSPARK » Fri Oct 28, 2005 10:41 pm
Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Lilspark and I live in Welsford, so far have only hiked up Devil's rock and I am curious as to what there is rock climbing wise in my "village" I am not yet a climber due to lack of equipment but I know of the Cochrane lane cliffs and would like to climb them at some point. You may have seen me running the highway (training for a 1/2 marathon) not sure if this would help with climbing.
I think therefore I run

There is lots of climbing on the Cochrane Lane Cliffs. Just hike up some saturday/sunday and start chatting to people. Fred and I will be up there tomorrow afternoon at 'pryamid wall' (you'll see signs) so come and see us. You can't miss me. I'm 6 months pregnant.
By the way, you have to go to Petersville hill (base towards fredericton about 10 min drive from welsford) to obtain a day pass to go to the cliffs. It is Military property, and they require you sign in. There is more information in several other threads on this forum.

My fiance is in the army so apparently we can actually go there without a pass, but if we need one We'll get one. We've hiked up Devil's rock a few times and we haven't know how popular Bald peak is, but I will check it out at some point. Is there a lookout that I can hike up to for a lookout to get a general idea of the area?

But, We've heard a young man seriously injured himself 2 week ago after a fall at the Cochrane lane cliffs, also heard it took 2 hours to reach him, can anyone tell me what happened and I hope he will be ok

I suspect when you visit the area on your own time you are civilians and you need to obtain a day pass like everyone else.
I want to go to hell... there's probably lots of rock to climb there.

Yes someone was baddly injured. He is parazlized from the chest down.
Climbing is inherently dangerous and you can be seriously injured or die. Proper instruction is essential to minimize risk.
