I love nature and activities such as rock climbing and hiking. I have contacted with other outdoor enthusiasts and find climbing bring people together. It's a also a fun family activity. Having climbing at Devils Glen will be great.

I believe this is the right decision to make Devils Glen a recreational place for rock climbing. The experiences I have had here have been amazing, safe, and respectful. Please allow rock climbing to be permitted here so that there is more access to safe regulated climbing in this area.

I've been climbing for nearly a decade now, and started in ON. DG is one of the first places I ever climbed outside, and remains one of my favourite places I've ever climbed. Climbers, by and large, are some of the most conscientious user groups I've seen. Read more

As someone who climbed at Devil's Glen I support this plan. Climbing let's appreciate the beauty of Ontario's natural environments in a special way and draws in people from all over to be able to share that experience. Read more
