Ontario's premier sport cliff, perched above Georgian Bay. The cliff faces northwest — no sun until early afternoon — but exposure to strong lake winds means the face itself dries fast once the sun hits. Lines seep well into spring from the caprock above; conditions come good for summer and stay good into October. Sudden lake fog can wet the rock at high humidity even on rain-free days.
