Bouldering and the public gardens

Hello, so basically we have just been bouldering, sleeping and hanging out with my friends from high school, its been pretty warm here in Halifax although there is a thunderstorm going on right now...

The places we have been bouldering so far are as follows, Chebucto Head, Chebucto foot and Crystal Crescent, but we are going to Duncans Cove area tomorrow night with the Climb Nova Scotia Monday night bouldering event.

So far i have enjoyed climbing at Crystal Crescent the most, it has a good mix of problems spread out over a very nice bit of coastline and you have to walk by a nude beach to get to it from the parking area which makes it more interesting.

below is a few photos from our climbing trips along with a few randoms (no photos of the nude beach though).

First Post

So we've officially begun our summer trip with our 12 hour drive from Montreal to Halifax and are now seeing the sites and relaxing in this lovely little city by the sea. Our drive on the twelfth was beautiful. Although Noah has done it a bunch of times, the only times I have driven through New Brunswick have been at night. We took a few side trips, one along the "valley route" by the river in Fredericton and another to see the longest covered bridge in the world (I know you are probably super jealous dad). We stopped at the country-style in Woodstock, NB for sunriser sandwiches (our new tradition) and the girl working the counter was so friendly and so nice (which is why we always stop there.

Yesterday we went to Crystal Crescent beach and Noah got super sunburnt and today we went bouldering at Chebucto Head for my FIRST climbing outside. It was super scary but also a ton of fun and a great intro to what we will hopefully be doing a whole lot for this summer.

Still looking for a lobster shack/seaside fish-and-chips place to visit so if anyone has any suggestions please comment!

These are some photos of the bridge...
