West Quaco

Michael Wejchert, Alden Pellett and I are on our way to Newfoundland for nine days. I've always been inexorably drawn to northern maritime areas. The juxtaposition of mountains and oceans in maritime Canada is beautiful.

Our overnight ferry yesterday from North Sydney, Nova Scotia was cancelled due to extreme wind (up to 110 mph! ). We decided to take a short detour to view some of the seaside climbing in St. Martin, NB, on the Bay of Fundy.

Despite the rain, which prevented us from climbing, the area was worth visiting. All of us agreed we would like to climb there in the future.

Toko Crag

Chris Beauchamp just emailed me a couple of photos he took during our visit to Toko Crag last week. It's steep!! For more about Chris and what he's been up to visit his website here and his blog, which shows some of his recent work.

All set up for the crux on "Unemployment Line"
