Access Issue: From the OAC website, climbing at Lion's Head is "Tolerated: Climbing access not formally permitted, but informally accepted. Tread lightly." Details

From the OAC website, climbing at Lion's Head is "Tolerated as a non-conforming use of the park. Highly sensitive area. Strive for minimal impact and low profile. All fixed protection to be camouflaged. Do not disturb the cottagers. Approach via Bruce Trail entrance.
Good mix of sport and trad, starting at higher grades mostly 5.10 and above. Some routes have anchors. Some routes start from ground, others from hanging belay. Approach is from top; rap in. Extremely complex the first visit."

Description

The Nimbus Wall contains Lion's Head lookout itself and is the home of some very nice exposed routes.

Getting There

Make your way to the obvious Lion's Head lookout (the trail signs are marked to direct you there). Rappel for hanging belays as noted on each route. The Roaming Gypsies, Stratus Fear, Above the Clouds, Homo Erectus, and Fully Erect can be accessed from the ground.
