Aaron successfully sends the ultra-high 23ft tall Flywall boulder.This past weekend, I went bouldering at Niagara Glen with my friends. The Glen as it is commonly called by those familiar with the park is downstream of the falls along the edge of the rapid river. It is a popular hangout for climbers locally as well as those south across the river from the United States.
Prior to the trip, Aaron painstakingly converted a website about Glen climbing routes into a 150+ page PDF book. I asked the guys that work in my company's print shop to make 2 copies in black and white but the main printer was down. So instead, they had to print it out using the colour printer! If this was an official transaction, I would have been billed $100 for each copy. Luckily, I only promised coffee.
The trip was fantastic due in part to great weather. The air was cool and crisp and even the bugs left us alone. We all completed some challenging climbs but we also all left with unfinished business. I'm already thinking about a return visit the weekend after. Or maybe a visit to Old Baldy instead to do some lead climbing... Anyhow, cheers to the start of the climbing season!

Looks sweet. Were there mats to dampen the fall IF it happens? Or would it be down to your hands to support his behind?
You and Caron did it too!! Where's the picture of you 23ft up the wall?
My camera is crappy. Most pictures turned out blurry. It took some post-work to even get these 2 to be reasonable in quality.
We had two mats but I don't think they help much at that height.
