Newfoundland has a number of big unclimbed walls that rise above the Atlantic Ocean. Some of the more popular ones are the Devil’s Bay area and include Blow Me Down wall. Gros Morne, which means “big lone mountain” is a large national park on the western edge of the province. It has some of the most wild mountain terrain and coastal vegetation i n Canada. It has landlocked fiords that are over one billion years old and the through the park. The climbing is a mixed bag, from long summer treks to world-class ice routes. There are not many rock climbs due to the friable rock, black f lies and mosquitos and long approaches. But the winter climbing is becoming more popular every year. Ten Mile Pond has a number of stout routes above it, including The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe M12 WI7 and Apocalypse Now M9 WI7. There are dozens of other high-quality ice routes that justify at least one extended winter visit to the area. tree/tundra line runs
