Jon Adamson on 2020 Trail Day
Ascent New Brunswick would like to thank all the volunteers who came out for our annual trail day on November 14.
Three good sized crews completed major objectives at Cochrane Lane. There is a now a discernible trail from the campsite on top of Exfoliated Wall all the way down to the bottom. The second crew revamped the approach trails to Dawn Wall including multiple points of entry in addition to a path connecting L Shape to Simpson. Finally, crew number 3 worked to improve the trail from Pooh Corner all the way over to Gollum's Cave. These improvements will allow for safer travel and greater efficiency in moving around between the different walls at Cochrane Lane.
Over the past month improvements have also been made to Glen Falls Crag. The approach trail from the ATV road to the cliff has been improved. The base of the wall is now flat allowing for safer belay stances and a much more user friendly area to put on climbing shoes and rack up. This year has seen use increase dramatically at all our major crags and our organization is committed to helping improve the climbing experience for our community.
We thank you for your support.
