After two decades, the Niagara Fall's bouldering area, The Niagara Glen, finally has a bouldering guidebook it deserves! Supported by the community, this complete 344-page guidebook features hundreds of problems and everything you've ever wanted in a bouldering guidebook: beautiful hand-drawn maps, GPS coordinates, pages for notes/beta, tick lists, climbing-inspired art, photography from several contributors, history of the Niagara Glen, and detailed problem descriptions.
Put together with the help of Kacy Wilson, Jack Szumilas, the Niagara Parks Commission and an enthusiastic bouldering community, the Niagara Glen Bouldering guidebook assembles a seemingly impossible mess of information from a beloved bouldering area. The maps and many topos were painstakingly drawn by hand and given a unique artistic flair while overlaid over accurate GPS tracks.
We would like to thank the Niagara Parks Commission (NPC) again for their help in keeping access open, providing a bouldering permit system, and working with us to keep information up to date as the hiking and climbing area evolves. Please make sure you purchase a bouldering permit - this ensures that climbing remains open. Don't ruin it for everyone. An annual permit includes a parking pass, and costs less than parking paid in 3 visits.
With each book, I've been able to continuously make quality-of-life improvements. This current revised v1.5 edition features a number of important changes including certain closures, revised grades, and a few notable problems. 2-page map layouts have also been split and spaced apart from the center spine for improved readability.
Please note that the NPC recently changed their trail configuration which is not reflected in this current edition.
