The Nooks Bouldering Area

Located north of Elliot Lake, The Nooks offer climbers an amazing opportunity to enjoy spectacular bouldering in a beautiful and secluded setting. Featuring some of the best natural climbing in Canada, the area is home to over 150 problems ranging from V0 to V13 and is an ideal destination for boulderers of all abilities. Boulderers who want to avoid crowds and climb unpolished problems need to check out The Nooks. 

Climbers travelling to the Nooks have several accommodation options including the Hampton Inn and several Air B&B's located in Elliot Lake as well as Mississagi Provincial Park located north of Elliot Lake. Crown Land camping is also an option for Canadian Citizens looking to stay a few days.

Elliot Lake is also equipped with all of the essential amenities climbers may need such as grocery stores, restaurants, equipment retailers, hardware stores, and a full service hospital.

More information on the Nooks can be found in "The Nooks Bouldering Guide" written by Brendan Baars which is available for purchase online or can be rented at the Elliot Lake Library
