Cocrhane Lane Cliffs are closed, once again as of 6 June 2007. They may be reopened soon. There are Falcons nesting and biologists are working out a ‘no climb zone’ to protect the birds and climbers alike.

If someone wants to know if its reopened, goto http://www.climbeasterncanada.com and check in the New Brunswick section of the forum under annoucements. I’m sure it will say there when it’s reopened.

Climb on.

Access has been restored to the area. UNB Club members enjoy free access, however, other users such as those travelling to enjoy the area or people from Saint John,etc. must at least call the ranger station and report in, or get a pass from Camp Petersville station.

As a note, the ‘route names such as Joes Garage, etc.” those aren’t route names, but in actuality those are the names of different wall areas. Joe’s Garage is home to 50 or more different individual routes and is hundreds of feet wide and between 350 and 80 feet high.

Here’s hoping for an uninterrupted 2006 Clmibing Season in Welsford, NB – Canada.

Thanks to everyone envolved in regaining our access rights to Welsford.
