Glen Niagara, Any one bouldered there? I'm over in Ontario once a year but its still a long drive (7 hours) from where I stay.

www.glenbouldering.com Not much activity on this website but there's over 700 problems.

Is it worth the drive?

I went there for an afternoon a few years back when visiting the Falls, got on the tourist bus to the glen. didn't have a mat but found enough to do, some nice variety of stuff, HVS-ish highball walls, low roofs etc. can't remember what that sector was called, it was the main one. Loads of stuff there, would be good to get a tour with a loacl. I thought it was good but probably not worth a 7 hour drive on its own. If you're visiting the falls though its worth checking out, or if you're in toronto you can make a day/s out of it, and is in a nice spot away from the main tourist trap of the falls. I did have a couple of photos of it on the old UKB gallery, don't know where they ended up.

Just noticed my site (Above) was getting hits from here...    The Glen is Awesome,  a mix of limestone and sandstone.

Here's a much better site for Glen Locals:  http://www.halcyonclimbing.com/phpBB2/ 

Lot's of friendly locals willing to show you around.  Even if you don't have a pad, we usually have a decent crew so no worries. 

Where is your 7 hour drive coming from.  There might be something closer worth checking out...

Cheers,

Dennis
