History
In the early 1970s a small group of experienced rock climbers, recently moved to Winnipeg, began looking for climbable rock and they discovered several superb granite cliffs to the east of the city in the Kenora area. The Kenora region occupies the southwest edge of the rocky pen plain known to geologists as the Canadian Shield, a sparsely populated land of sparkling lakes and boreal forest that covers half of Canada. The Canadian Shield is the oldest and largest exposure of crystalline rock on the earth; the cliffs that we climb on are all that remain of mountain ranges that were born 2 to 4 billion years ago
