Ontario Climbing: Vol 1.2 The Turtle

The climbing guide to ‘The Turtle’

Gus Alexandropoulos and Justin Dwyer

UPDATE: A permit is now required to climb at The Turtle and there is a limit to the number of climbers that can be there at one time. You can register for your permit at https://www.ontarioallianceofclimbers.ca/turtle-code/

This is a limited edition guidebook that was published when crag was originally opened. The book has pre-closure and pre-registration instructions but otherwise is perfectly useable and a nice addition to a climbing guidebook collection.

This crag has routes ranging from steep powerful pulling to more conventional technical pocket and small-edge climbing. The Turtle is unique because while the base is on private property, the landowner is supportive of climbing at the crag.

Our continued access to this crag is dependent on climbers exhibiting exceptional behaviour when visiting the area.

Don’t be the person responsible for getting this crag closed. You can read more about The Turtle at OntarioClimbing.com.
