A Cry for Deliverance V10 – Niagara Glen
Dude this gave me so much trouble. It felt good to try this again recently and it felt like the left start hand doubled in size. Probably due to me getting stronger and having better technique.
Floating Seagulls (V4) - Wonderland Area, Niagara Glen, Ontario, CA
June 21, 2026 The boulder is imposing but this line is too good to pass on if you have the pads to protect it! The landing is very rocky - for reference we used 2 big pads and 2 regular sized pads. Climbs really well - lots of beta options through the beginning with many usable pockets. Make sure you have your feet set up well for the big cross move. Keep your head for the top out as not all the holds on the lip are as juggy as they look. What I initially grabbed on the right side had me trying harder than I expected but the left was more forgiving.
Gateway (V3) - Bizarro World Area, Niagara Glen, Ontario, CA
June 19, 2026 A bit softer than I was expecting. The move to the lip was pretty easy with good foot placement. The hardest part for me was deciding how to hold the starting block and how to position my feet. Originally I was going to move left hand first but I settled on right hand so that the left could stay pulling on the jug start for longer.
Rungs (V1) - Bizarro World Area, Niagara Glen, Ontario, CA
June 19, 2026 First send at the Glen! This is a must-do for the grade - great features and movement with so many beta possibilities. I based my beta around wanting to use the great juggy sidepull out right that I don't see a lot of people using. This made it easier to grab the good part of the next crimp with my left hand, making the "big" move easier too. A nice toe hook helps to avoid some of the polished footholds!
Bagging Loose Tea V8 – Niagara Glen
Dude I got a monster blood split on my left middle.
The Gunt V10 – Niagara Glen
Dude, hell yeah. I've been suffering from double digit send withdrawal. That night I woke up at 5, couldn't go back to sleep, so I rolled out of bed having slept 4 hours. The previous day I slept 6 hours, interrupted after like an hour or 2, so pretty bad. I pulled this out of my ass. The two important microbeta was to hit the sloper crimp slightly more right than I think (don't just go all the way left to the crack), make sure your pinky is on. Then the holy grail was me switching from a right toe down with open hip to a twisting drop knee to get the sidepull. I was always better at this twisting, but assuming this move forced the open hips. I saw it done in person with the twist knee, and the moment I tried it, I knew I had it in the bag. It makes the top so much easier for me.
Monkey Fist V2 (maybe) - Niagara Glen
Flashed. I don't think I did the right line? The true line sit starts further down left, but I was told that I started on the crimps. If you know what this is, let me know.
Niagara Glen - Foot Fetish - V3
20240414 - I started matched on the block, but left hand should start on the hold left of the block. It's marginally more difficult the way I started.
Mirin V2 - Niagara Glen
Maybe went off the line? It felt too high to just stick to only the corner and just rip for the lip (it wasn't good enough to throw for), but guidebook did not mention and holds or the flake on the left being off, so it should be legit.
Infected Mushroom Left V7 - Niagara Glen
Honestly pretty tough. Took me way to long to figure out the end sequence, eventually I just threw for the hold and it worked.
Gateway V3 // Niagara Glen
// 4 March 2024 Honestly I’m not really sure if this is actually Gateway as the line in the Glen Guidebook has it going a little further left, but I essentially topped out at the same place, it just feels a bit easier than what’s in the book.
Snake Eyes, Niagara Glen
All the toe hooks on mini limestone spikes made this possible. I also chose to stay straight up the line and avoid the choss to the very left. Sick glen classic.

Zozobra V9/10 Niagara Glen Bouldering
"Zozobra" V9/V10 at the Niagara Glen. Ever since I first stepped foot in the Glen 5 years ago, this climb has been in the back of my head as a life-lister. At the time, I was climbing V6/V7, and I figured I would come back when I felt like I could flash it. I didnt flash it today, but I did do it 4th go. My first go I missed the deep pocket on the first move, and my next two goes I chickened out on the left hand bump move. My fourth go I sent, doing the drop knee move the first time I got there. The movement, holds, and line are spectacular to say the least. 4 stars for sure. The starting holds did break off back in Nov of 2020. I never touched the climb before today, so I can't speak to if it's harder or easier than before. I found the difficult moves to be the first move, and the left hand bump move (third). Both of which were affected by the hold break. Honestly, I thought the drop knee move and top out were pretty chill. Thanks @joeysuster21 for the day trip car company, pads, spots, and stoke. #bouldering #climbing #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #climbing_is_my_passion #niagaraglen #niagaraglenbouldering #niagaraglennaturereserve
The GLEN Over TEN - V11 Niagara Glen Bouldering
Here are some of the hardest boulders I have climbed so far at the Niagara Glen. A lot of these sends are years old and it was great to look back on some of this footage. The Phoenix had always been an intimidating and timeless classic, and sending it felt like I had established my step-up outside of V10. Zozobra is such an undeniable line and it really tested my head game. I took an unsavoury foot cut at the lip of the boulder when I sent the stand start. It could have been bad... Bagging Loose Tea had not seen many ascents and I suggested it was harder than V10. The bottom felt nails hard! But wow - what a sick line when you link it all together. Razorblade is likely still the boulder I have worked the hardest for, and was certainly the hardest moves I had done at the time. The shoulder strength I had gained from working and preparing for Razorblade transferred well into Hugh Jackman as I almost sent it the same day - but instead, took what felt like one of my worst punts on a project! The Heat ... well, The Heat is just fantastic. Some of the best flow of diverse movement I have felt on rock. Hope you guys enjoy sharing a bit in the experience! Niagara Glen Bouldering The Phoenix | V11 (1:26) Bagging Loose Tea Extension - SDS | V10/11 (2:16) Zozobra SDS | V10/11 (4:00) - BROKE since this video. Still probably in this grade range Razorblade Rodeo | V11/12 (7:26) Hugh Jackman | V11 (8:16) The Heat | V11 (9:48) As I am putting this description together I realize how hilarious it is that literally all of these boulders have contested grades aside from 'The Heat', and, I suppose the Phoenix is pretty much settled. Let's add 'The Gunt', 'Stiletto', 'CFD left', and 'The Mirror' to the mix and we have the large expanse of the Niagara Glen's no man's land of V10/11. O -- and I think it's possible that Razorblade might be closer to V12 😂. Plus, The Heat is almost certainly harder than V11 if you are too short for the toehook beta... Grades ... am I right??

V4 Bouldering - Niagara 3 - Short and Sweet
The third in a series of videos about 30+ V4 boulders at the Niagara Glen. This most recent set includes six new ones from a two-day stop-over on my 2022 trip out west. This time I focused on "short and sweet" boulders (no highballs, no traverses, no bad landings) to protect my ankles.

No U Turn SDS (Gaston Variation): I used a slightly higher left hand Gaston for the No U Turn SDS line. It’s much easier than the lower left crimp and possibly morpho but climbs super well. Interested to see if anyone has trouble reaching the left hand from the ground. Rock Lee: I spent a few sessions over 2 years looking at this thing and never fully committed to the dyno. Having a psyched crew of crushers lead to James A getting the FA on April 9th 2020 followed by Aidan A and finally myself. Others have managed to static the move with a toe hook making the move easier. Yes Dear (Dyno): There’s not too many dynos in the glen that are clean, committing, and have good landings. This is definitely a nice/fun challenge if you’re in the area and like to jump.

THE GLEN SUB TEN | PART 12 | Niagara Glen Bouldering
Following a finger injury from fall 2020 the winter consistent of rehabbing on a home hang board, which blended into strength training as the injury healed. I came out to the glen spring of 2021 with probably the strongest fingers I’ve ever had, but with very little time actually climbing (lockdowns). No better way to regain time on the rock than sampling some moderate blocks put up recently!

V5 DAY! Niagara Glen (RE-RELEASE)
This is a **RE-RELEASE** and features an additional 8 boulder problems on sandstone. **DISCLAIMER** the paths to these boulders are still closed to my understanding and are potentially hazardous. Be smart and respectful. On December 9th 2020 I decided to do as many V5 boulder problems at the Niagara Glen as I could (according to what is a V5 in the most current guidebook. A few problems turned out easier then v5 and some turned out to maybe a bit harder than v5, as indicated by the + and -). The number turned out to be 38 total from 7:30am to 6:30pm. I was wrecked after this. I documented the time I sent each boulder as indicated in the bottom left corner before each boulder. V5 day lets goooooo!

Infected Mushroom Left V7 @ Niagara Glen
Jared Nelson makes this slopey crimp problem look like a walk in the park - but the park has a steep hill, and if you punt off the top of the hill you have to make sure you tuck and roll to not lose your teeth on the entrance... Needless to say, if you climb this problem, just don't fall.
Rule of thumb (V8/7b): Niagara Glen - Maria and Ratul
Rule of thumb (V8/7b) Beginning of this year Maria & Ratul climbed a hidden gem on a boulder problem located in Niagara Glen, Old country sector that was tucked away next to the main trail The problem starts on two small crimps that require a badass crossover move before extending out to the featured 'rule of thumb' hold. Then you establish your feet to launch for the top roof edge with your left hand and pull up to top out the sketchy slab climb (Spooky)

Comfy little climb with surprisingly good moves and holds while not being chossy. The climb is located to the very left and below the lip of the slab where tales of power finishes, directly opposite to Danzig. Start on the opposing comfy holds and climb up to establish on the face.

Balrog Battle (v7, FA) Niagara Glen
On the same boulder as Framonda (v3) in the new guidebook. Right across from the Misfits boulder (Mighty Midges etc.) atop the tunnel. Start matched on low rail with a left heel hook, use a two finger pocket to get to a far RH undercling. Topout straight and to the left avoiding the Cedar
Stranded (V2) - Niagara Glen
This is a climb we made up on our own on our very first trip to the Niagara Glen. It is between a V3 and a V1 climbs on each side of it. It involves lifting off the sit start on a sharper left hand, getting an inside knee and rotating your body weight around your knee and grabbing the side pull ledge. This is climbed by Ian W.
Stiletto (v10, FA) Niagara Glen
Stiletto, left of Cry for Deliverance at the Niagara glen in the Wonderland area. Start on pinch and undercling, trend right and finish up and left.

Funk-Schwey (v10, post-breakage, gopro angle) Niagara Glen
Uncut footage of Niagara Glen bouldering. Last summer a large block ripped off the crux section at the arrete. Luckily it left a decent side-pull that could also later be used as foot hold to top it out.

V100 CHALLENGE - NIAGARA GLEN | Short Film
This short film follows Ontario climber Jeremy Penman on his birthday challenge: complete 100 V-points in a day at Niagara Glen! But with the COVID-19 pandemic at the start of 2020, climbing access was prohibited and suddenly the backyard playground that Jeremy took for granted in years past had a whole new meaning for him. The Niagara Glen (affectionately known as "The Glen") is the only major bouldering venue in Southern Ontario and is located near the Canadian-US border. Climbers like Sonnie Trotter have left their mark at The Glen with test-piece problems established nearly two decades ago while more recently climbing phenom Alex Megos gifted The Glen with two new V12 problems. Local climbers like Jany Mitges had fought to keep access open at The Glen back in 2008 while being part of the then-known Ontario Access Coalition. Today, Kacy Wilson spearheads the fight and maintains an excellent relationship between the Ontario Alliance of Climbers and the Niagara Parks Commission. The Glen is a destination frequent by all user groups and it remains important that climbers act as stewards towards the area by practicing Leave No Trace and display good crag etiquette. We hope you enjoy this climbing film with it's genuine try-hard-challenge while also highlighting access issues and history of the Niagara Glen.

FLORYSHE LEFT V6 | Niagara Glen
Really proud of this climb as it has eluded me for many months due to risk aversion with the final huge move out left - turns out I just needed to be I’m more confident in my right hand crimp pinching abilities!
Megaman (V4) - Niagara Glen
Classic boulder with a few different beta options for the crux move. The crux move is the sequence after hitting the left hand crimp.
Niagara Glen - Floryshe Left v6 / Edit #9
Quick edit of the Floryshe Left v6 boulder problem at the Niagara Glen. Shot via GoPro Hero 6 using Protune & edited with DaVinci Resolve. Learned how to add text to the video in an interesting way to use as a title.
Brave New World (V5) - Niagara Glen
Left hand variation of "The doors of perception (V6)". One of the best climbs and locations in the glen. Hard for the grade, I found the 2nd move to be the hardest until I found the beta tweaks that worked for me.

Bounty Hunter (V5) - Niagara Glen
Good little climb. First move feels hard until you commit and get the heel nice and high on the left hold. Crag: Niagara Glen, Ontario Canada Area: Land of Oz Date: August 2020 Personal Quality Rating: 3/5 My height: 6ft My ape index: ~ +1 Sponsors: - My parents
The Warm-up Proj! | The Minimalist V6 | Niagara Glen Bouldering
Over the past few years I have looked at this boulder every time I was close by and could never understand how to even start... Finally, I committed to giving a real effort to figure this thing out. I offer you: The Minimalist V6 - a classic glen sandbag? Let me know what you guys think FA: Andy Salo Start on the clean blank face of this boulder sitting. Pull off the ground using a left hand undercling and bad right sidepull. Fire to the mail slot and topout on big jugs. Make sure you are really sitting to start, otherwise its easier :) #niagaraglen #bouldering #climbing
Closed Eye Visuals V10 Niagara Glen Bouldering
My first v10! I grabbed the crux right hand hold with my front 2 fingers and thumb, and had to readjust to add my ring finger on before I could move off the left hand. #V10 #climbing #rockclimbing #bouldering #niagraglen

Workin' With the Wrist [V3] - Niagara Glen Bouldering
This climb is just to the left of the boulder that Frozen French Fries [V2] is on, facing the exact same way, in Old Country (Lower) of the Niagara Glen, Ontario. It is un-named in the Topout.org guide, so I named it “Workin’ with the Wrist” due to the strong dyno into a crimp, which puts a lot of pressure on the wrist. If it's an actual route and someone has the name, please let me know! Climbed on June 4, 2016. Subscribe for weekly content!
