Deep water soloing in Ontario

Does any one know any good spots in Ontario (or close to Ontario) for deep water soloing?

Is Elora quarry climbable? I'm sure it is illegal everywhere so that is not a concern of mine.

Access issues are a big problem in Ontario. Please don't be part of the problem.

Don't be a dick by causing access issues for everyone. When one climber does something irresponsible, it makes people think all climbers are irresponsible.

Hi Cristian,

What the others said above is correct. Access in Ontario is very tenuous and any one person caught making themselves look bad to the non-climbing public or to landowners makes all of us look bad, with the consequences being closures and loss of climbing privileges for everyone. So please make sure that access is a concern of yours and do what you can to preserve it.

Go here to see access status and closures:

Message received.

One last question:

Was it ever legal to do deep water soloing at Elora Quarry?
