Description

The town of Holyrood is at the south end of Conception Bay. Traditionally, the main wall in Holyrood has been a training ground for trad climbers, with many trad routes ranging from 5.3 to 5.9. Recently, some moderate multi-pitch climbs of 2-3 pitches have been developed, on Murray's Peak and the main wall. There are some good bouldering opportunities at Wong's House and at the seldom-visited Rainforest.

Getting There

Past conception bay south on the Conception Bay Highway. Alternatively, take the Holyrood Access Road exit off the Trans-Canada Highway.
