New Community Page & Upcoming Event
I have added a community page to the website which has details about the club, membership, events and current activities. The link to the blog in the menu is gone now, but it is still accessible through the community page. In other news the club is organising an event running 21st-22nd January to hike from Flatrock to Stiles Cove and camp overnight before hiking back. The hike is short and not too strenuous and if you've never tried winter camping this will be a great opportunity to try it out with the support of the experienced leaders from the club. Full details can be found on Facebook or you can email me.
Climbing Club Created
Following on from the previous note we have started a club to serve the climbing community of Newfoundland. The decision has been made to call the club Climb Newfoundland to align with other similar clubs and this website, so over the coming weeks there will be some changes to make this into a home of the club rather than just a guide for the climbing in the area. Upcoming events and meetings will be posted on the site as well as information about membership as soon as it is available. We're all very excited about the possibilities of the new club and hope that lots of people will get involved in making the community bigger and better for everyone.
Newfoundland Climbing Club
Climbers from Newfoundland will meet on 8th November at 9.30pm in Wallnuts Climbing Center to discuss creating a club to serve the community. Everyone is welcome to come along to discuss all aspects of the club and become a part of the team. We hope to get a good turnout so that we can build the club in a way that benefits everybody. Full agenda to follow.
New Design
The new look for the Climb Newfoundland website has taken some time to design and build, but I hope you'll find it better presents the information you want to know as well as being easier on the eye. Check out the blog entry Changes for discussion on the choices I made and please email me any comments, corrections, new information or pictures.
New Climbing Area: DFO
Justin Emberley and Kevin Le Morzadec have been developing a new climbing area near the Department of Fisheries and Oceans in St. John's for a while now and have just published a topo and information about the area so that everyone can enjoy it. Thanks go out to the guys for all their hard work and you can check out the details of the location here.
