Monday Night Bouldering Begins
Climb Nova Scotia presents …
Here we have it folks! The long anticipated schedule for Monday Night Bouldering!! We decided to start it a couple weeks early this season for all of you who are psyched!! Everyone is welcome - from the novice climber who just bought their first pair of shoes to the advanced who just wants to CRUSH!. Come on out for a great time shared amongst good people. Shoot the shit, gather beta, and make friends and all that other sappy stuff! Bring your friends, family, or dog, whatever!
SO THIS IS THE DEAL: We meet every Monday (if it is pouring lets head indoors for a session, eh?!) at the Armdale Rotary in Halifax, for 6:00pm! Try to get there a bit early as we will leave as close to 6:00pm as possible, so aim for 5:45-5:55pm! We will carpool to a different destination every Monday so if you do not have a car, do not worry! Just show up and we will carpool the best we can. We have always been successful in the past and climbers are always willing to share a seat. If you want to pitch in for gas I am sure it will be much appreciated! Climb Nova Scotia will bring some pads but if you have one please bring it. The more the merrier! The schedule is below.
***NOTE: We understand these areas may not cater to everyone. Therefore, if we deem it necessary we may change the desitnation without notice. Please try to be there before departure at 6:00pm so you are in the loop!***

Climb Nova Scotia Annual General Meeting
The 2010 Climb Nova Scotia Annual General Meeting will be held on Sunday, April 25 at 6pm at Ground Zero Climbing Gym in Dartmouth.
You must be a Climb Nova Scotia member to attend, but memberships
may be purchased on site.
Come learn what we’ve been up to, what we're planning, and how you can get involved. Meet the executive and share your opinions and ideas.
There will be free food, beverages, prizes and climbing after the meeting!
Parking ban at First Face on Paces Lake Drive
Climb Nova Scotia has been contacted by the owners of First Face crag. Apparently someone on Paces Lake Drive has complained to them that several times dozens of people have been seen trespassing on a neighbor's property, camping out and making fires, and leaving litter and garbage behind. We have also been advised that neither the dockside nor the pullout parking spots are public, and in fact the entire road is private all the way to the highway.
The owners have requested that climbers do not park on Paces Lake Drive - park only on the side of the 357HWY and walk in, being careful to stay on the path along the water's edge and away from the houses on Paces Lake Drive. The landowners expressed their satisfaction with their relationship with Climb Nova Scotia and do not have plans to revoke climbing privileges provided we respect their wishes.
I'm confident that the climbing community is not responsible for this disrespectful and boorish behavior, but that is beside the point. Likewise I know you will all continue to show respect for the people who are kind enough to allow us access to their land to enjoy climbing.
Stick to clear and designated trails and strive to Leave No Trace that you were there. Always pack out your own trash and any other rubbish you might find and note that there are no camping or fires permitted at First Face. Remember that climbing on private land is a privilege not a right. Please do not park on Paces Lake Drive when climbing at First Face.
Sincerely,
Mick Levin

Response has been tremendous this year, and as such we are unable to accept any more participants.
If you already emailed CNS, you have a spot reserved. However, due to limitations with gear and overall routes we are unable to accommodate any more climbers who do not have their own gear. If you are still keen on getting out with us but didn't reserve a spot in time, please email climbnovascotia@gmail.com and we will let you know if we have any cancellations by Friday.
Cheers,

CNS Meeting Minutes January 8th, 2010
CNS Meeting Minutes: January 8th, 2010
CNS is a proud sponsor of the second Nova Scotian Tour de Bloc competition for 2009-10. It will be held at Ground Zero climbing gym on the 13th of February and promises to be an very exciting event with lots of surprises.
The climbing wall at West Kings high school has finally been completed with a aid of CNS funding. This project engaged many of the students who helped to build the wall and now get to learn a how to climb on their complete project. In order to help introduce the intricacies of rock climbing to student at the high school three CNS board members will be visiting the school on the 25th of January. This visit will involve a route setting clinic and a basic introduction to climbing technique and training. Furthermore, a copy of Eastern Tide will be shown and latter given to the school; this movie depicts some of the most intriguing, fun and difficult bouldering in Nova Scotia.
Major Thanks to Heather Bray for sending out the holiday thanks you letters to boulder fest sponsors !!
Due to the unfavourably warm weather in Nova Scotia lately ice climbing have been limited but CNS is still hoping for some colder weather in order to hold ice daze again this year. Possible between late January to early February.
Cheers,
Kate Smith
