So the forum has been added. If you have any problems with it please let me know (Allan on the contact page), because I really don't know what the hell
I'm doing. Please add yourself as a user in the forum and that way you can actually get a hold of other climbers if everybody registers.

A rock climbing page for Elliot Lake has been added under the road trips section of the Rock Locations page. Elliot Lake is pretty awesome, who would've
guessed it. And work is now officially underway for a forum, to hopefully aid in finding climbing partners, hopefully by the end of the week it'll be up
and running.

The Manitoulin rock climbing section under road trips has been updated with a few more pictures and a topo.
There's way more climbing than what's listed on the topo at this point. More information will be added as the summer goes on.

With the ice finally melting, it's time to shift to rock. With that, Sunday April 13th we're setting up for a rock climbing day at the Timberwolf
location. We'll setup top-ropes on the majority of the routes (I think there's 8 or 9) so everybody will have a chance to climb. If you're new to
the sport, we'll take care of all the setup and show you the basics of rock climbing, if you have some or lots of experience climbing, come out, climb,
and meet some other climbers in the area.
If you have your own equipment, bring it, if not, we'll have all the extra gear that you'll need to climb for the day. If you are new to the sport,
this will by no means be a certified instructional course, however we will show you how to tie-in to a rope, how to belay and some basics on climbing
safely, and you'll get lot of chances to scale the rock.
We'll be starting the short walk to the cliff at 11am from the parking area at the head of the trail. You can meet us there, or later at the cliff,
the trail will be flagged.
If your stuck for a ride to the cliff, send me an e-mail at info@sudburyclimbing.com and we'll figure something out.
What: Rock Climbing
Where: Timberwolf - Directions can be found at the Timberwolf page. Basically drive north on Barrydowne until you hit
the dirt road, then drive for another 30 meters or so and park, be sure not to box in the one house on the dirt road. Follow the flagging tape to the
cliff.
When: Sunday April 13th - 11am to 5ish? or whenever
Who: whoever shows up.
What to bring: climbing gear if you have it, if not a sturdy pair of shoes, snacks or lunch, some warm clothing for when you're not climbing. Gaiters
if you have them, the walk in might be wet and muddy by next week.

The rock 'Road Trips' section is somewhat complete, and some home made bouldering videos from a few summers ago have been added
for the Mackynen and Killarney locations. They're kind of cheesy, but they give a better idea of the climbing than the pictures ever could.
