I have been climbing at devils glen for several years now. It is a fantastic crag, probably my favourite in Ontario. The climbers have always been respectful of the nature and make sincere efforts to clean up any garbage we find. I strongly support this proposal.

Rock climbing is such a wonderful community sport that not only adds tremendous value to my life but also a greater appreciation for nature and parks in Ontario. Being able to have areas in Ontario to climb is important to the community

I support climbing in Provincial parks! I’m 62 and started climbing at 47 indoors. I started outdoor climbing just before I turned 50 and never looked back. Outdoors is so much more challenging and beautiful. All the climbers I know are respectful and inclusive. Read more
