Rattlesnake Point Now Open For Climbing.
Rattlesnake Point Conservation area is located in the heart of Canada’s largest climbing community and is home to Rattlesnake Point, Bottle Glass Crag and Buffalo Crag. These three climbing areas offer hundreds of moderate top roping, trad and sport climbing opportunities.
Conservation Halton will be monitoring the climbing opening of Rattlesnake Point to determine when Mount Nemo and Kelso (also under Conservation Halton jurisdiction) should re-open. It is imperative that climbers remain on their best behaviour when visiting Rattlesnake Point and adhere to the two-hour time limit. Failure to do so may compromise access to Rattlesnake Point as well as the re-opening of other Halton crags.
New climbers visiting the area and looking for more route information can purchase Ontario Climbing: Vol 1 The Southern Escarpment and Ontario Climbing: Vol 1.4 Sport Climbing Guide To Rattlesnake Point. A digital guide for the area is also available at rakkup.
