Horne Lake Caves

Horne lake is famous for the caves in the area, 7 in the Park and the island being the most densely populated area for caves in North America due to the limestone and the Karst landscape, typical for cave country, we decided to do some exploring in a cave called Main Cave this one is open to the public. You can also hop on a cave tour to explore a cave called Riverbend, in about 2 weeks the bottom end of the cave will be open which includes a 7 storey rappel into the rain barrel to see some awesome cave formations called speleothems.
Here are some pictures of main cave.

Horne Lake Bouldering

Horne Lake Spring 2009

As I climbed out my RV I realised that spring could finally be here. I did not feel that cold that keeps you in bed and the sun was glistening on the lake. Our team had finished training at Horne Lake and now we would try and get some climbing done. There are some 57 boulder problems near the Horne Lake camp ground, nobody seems to have much documentation of the climbing but I'm going to make an effort to build my own data base of climbs I have done or some of the other guys on the team.

The rock is lime stone its my first time climbing limestone. There is not only bouldering here but some serious sport routes and not much below 5.11. There are not many climbers around here so it has an awsome solitude feeling in the forests.
