I have been involved in mountaineering since the age of 6, and rock climbing since 1995 with global climbing experience, and convened a Wilderness Search and Rescue team in the past.

I fully support rock climbing at Devil's Glen Provincial Park. I am a climber and a hiker and I've seen first hand how climbers are excellent stewards of natural areas.

I think is a great path forward for our parks. I believe that climbing is a low environmental impact - yet high recreation value use for our parks.
Keep up the amazing work, and let’s expand this thinking to other provincially managed areas please!!

Great to see rock climbing formally being included as a permitted recreational use of park lands. Looking forward to seeing this replicated in other Ontario parks!
Climbing in Ontario has a long and established history with room for growth and community building. One need only observe Elliot Lake's adoption of rock climbing on nearby land to see a community which has embraced the positive impact that rock climbing can engender; a common story worldwide.

I think that making rock climbing at devils glen acceptable is a great idea. Climbing for myself, wife and daughter has such a positive impact to us through physical activity and mental fortitude. It is such a great bonding activity for us and our friends.

I would like to express my strong and enthusiastic support for the recognition of rock climbing at Devils Glen Provincial Park. Climbing is an activity which helps me spend time engaging with nature with my family and friends. Climbing is responsible and sustainable usage of a natural environment.

I think access for outdoor recreational activities in provincial parks is crucial. It's nice to walk around and visit a park but physical activities like rock climbing help one connect deeper.

This is amazing news for me as an Ontario climber. As someone who works as a registered nurse in a busy Toronto hospital, I find myself unwinding by going out on weekends and rock climbing. Rock climbing for me is the most important thing that I do for my mental health.

Devil’s Glen is where I fell in love with climbing. It’s a beautiful area with so much to enjoy! I met various other climbers there who were always kind and respectful. Out of the many weekends I spent there I never witnessed belligerence from climbers, as the property owners seem to claim.

I feel like expanding the provincial park is a phenomenal thing! Creating green space that is properly managed is the direction we should be going in.

This is fantastic. Thank you! Devil's Glen hosts some of the best climbing in the province and making it an officially approved recreation will help protect us from harassment and allow us to better focus on being good stewards of the nature that all climbers are passionate about.
Very much in favour of these changes specifically in relation to rock climbing in the park. An official plan is long overdue for the activity and will be a positive change for both those in the climbing community as well as for the community and environment at large.
