Description Diurnal pegs start just right of the great roof and follows cracks to piton protected crux, after the crux the climbing get a little dirty and finishes on a large fur tree. This route R rating is because of the run out to the first pin about 12-15’ up.

Diurnal Pegs was the first climb in New Brunswick to have a bolt placed on it, the bolt was placed about 5 feet from the ground but was removed around 2010. In 2004 local hard men John Bowles and Brent Cruickshank freed the original line with a starting variation and gave the route a grade of 5.11 R.

| In 2010 Erick and I broke a bolt on this route very low to the ground. I'm not sure if that's the same bolt you mentioned. Weighted it... stepped onto it... and sheared the head clean off. It wasn't replaced since it was very low to the ground and other placements were available. |

| I looked a this route a few times and it looks like there is gear at the start?? I guess I'll have to climb it to find out. |

| There's a pin about 10 feet up. If it had a nice landing probably wouldn't be a problem, but with the landing its a little intimidating. The optional photo shows where the pin is and there no obvious crack before it. |
