Climbing Near Peterborough, Ontario

Two glacial erratics found in the town of Buckhorn. Seconds from the road, owned by the municipality. Surrounded by private residences, probably good to keep a low profile.Rock is gneiss-like with sharp crystals, fun features and a steep down climb. Brush your chalk/tick marks when leaving. Watch for glass on the ground. Top-outs are a little mossy, clean at your own discretion. There are problems up the faces that point toward the road, but probably best avoided to not draw too much attention.Have someone move your pad over to below the down climb slab (on both boulders) as there's a bit of a jump to the ground. No current known climbing history. Park at Adam and Eve Rocks in Buckhorn, walk up the stairs.

This is a mossier version of the Sleeping Giant Boulder. With a little work, it could be exceptional! The rock forms some of the coolest holds around, and with a little scrubbing, there are 3 or so more existing climbs, including a very hard, dynamic, project. It is the smaller of the two Happy Valley boulders.

One of the largest erratics in Ontario, deposited around 20,000 years ago. It's found near Belleville. Unknown climbing history except for a few problems that were listed on The Crag - names/grades from there included here. Found on a popular walking trail, probably best to keep a low profile and to not over scrub the moss/lichen. Brush your chalk/tick marks off when done.There's at least one hard project up the steep face that deserves some attention from a strong climber. Drive to Bleasdell Boulder Conservation Area near Quinte West. Free parking, pretty big lot.Take the right trail at the fork, walk for a few mintues.
