As a climber and conversationalist, devils glen is a unique location. Removing access to climbing areas is a real risk to the sport and future generations. Climbers are know to be stewards of the environment. Please maintain climbing access for now and into the future.
Hello,
Please allow rock climbing to continue at devils glen. Its a beautiful place to explore and it would be a shame to not have a growing sport continue at such a rare gem. Climbers are stewards of the land and volunteer their time and efforts to keep places like this free of garbage.

As a lifelong Ontario resident, user of Ontario park since the age of 1 years old, and outdoor rock climber for over a decade, I strongly support the proposed changes to the park's management plan for Devil's Glen which would allow for popular and safe forms of rock climbing to take place.

The use of our outdoor recreation space should be for everyone - including climbers! There are many examples of crags across Ontario (and around the world) that are operating in environmentally sustainable ways.

To me, climbing is the most enjoyable activity and best way to connect with nature. I love climbing at Devil's Glen, and have always played my part in conserving the area. I would love to see outdoor climbing is accessible to all.
Climbers are very aware of details and changes within an area that they are intimately familiar with through frequent visits….we can offer helpful observations if an alliance is forged with the conservation and provincial park authorities….
I love outdoor climbing and so do many others! So it is very important to protect the outdoors that we borrow to do these activities. Consistent regulation of climbing in parks will help preserve the nature as well as make climbing more accessible and clear to beginners.
I have been rock climbing outdoors for 30 years, and I fully support the proposed change to the Park Management Plan for Devil's Glen, which legitimizes climbing.

I have been hiking and climbing at Devils Glen since 2016 and I am eager to see rock climbing recognized at the park.
My friends and I have always practiced a leave no trace ethic while in Devils Glen and will continue to do so well into the future.
