Suggestion

Hi Alex, Two suggetios to make your guide much frendly user. 1. Glossary: add a glossary with the names of the climbs in alphabetical order as primaray denomination in addition to the actual grade primary. 2. On all your pictures-drawings put the number of the climb instead of letter abbreviations.

I'm quite certain that Sandbag is just to the right of Minding Margaret

I'm quite certain that Sandbag is just to the right of Minding Margaret but I've considered suspending my new route claim untill further clarification from Will and Dave.

I'm returning to Thunder Bay in September...

I'm returning to Thunder Bay in September, I started bouldering this summer in Ottawa just at local climbing gym's. I was wondering if there is any way's of looking for climbing partners or just group's of people to climb with in Thunder Bay. And also maybe someone to show me the ropes for "Real" rock and Trad. I'm mostly beginner and from what it sounds like we have alot of experienced climbers, and I would prefer not to drag them down to a bunch of 5.7's and such. Also is there anywhere to rent Ice Climbing gear, cause its quite the investment. Thanks.
