Hi i was wondering if anyone here has climbed or knows of any climbing in Quetico Provincial Park in Ontario? Looking to take a group up to do some canoing and climbing.

Kris,

Toula's Rock and Road lists a place called Atikokan, which is east of Quetico. He also lists some stuff in the Thunder Bay area, but nothing for Quetico itself.

Thanks Lee, anybody else been to quetico and have any ideas?

Well, it's all rock, water, and pine trees, although most of the rock is covered in lichen and moss. There are plenty of cliffs, but I've never heard of any specific climbing area(s) in the park, except maybe Crane Lake, which I put a link to below (haven't been but looks pretty sweet). You can deep water solo, just about anywhere, but again, it's pretty licheny, and the lichen takes hundreds of years to grow, so I guess I wouldn't recommend wire brushing and chalking up holds just for that as it kind of would ruin the beauty.

Hadn't heard about the climbing near Atikokan, as I don't have a copy of Rock and Road. Atikokan is a dumpy one-horse town at the northern edge of Quetico (sorry to those Atikokanites, I'm sure it has it's good qualities).
