Description:

Niagara Glen is the largest developed bouldering area in Southern Ontario. While it's just a few miles from the touristy chaos that is Niagara Falls, it's a world apart. Hundreds of boulders lie clustered between the cliff and river in a serene setting. With over seven hundred established problems, ranging from easy to V ridiculously hard, the Glen will have you coming back again and again.
The Glen offers a mix of pocketed overhangs, thin crimpy faces and slopey sandstone. The rock quality and landings vary greatly throughout. The area has been climbed for decades and unfortunately the dolomite polishes easily, so many of the classics will feel nearly frictionless.

See Niagara Glen Climbing for more info, particularly for those looking to make their first visit or still relatively unfamiliar with the glen.

It is recommended to purchase the Niagara Glen Bouldering Guidebook for the easiest navigation around the crag, as the free topos can be quite confusing if it is your first time out.
