Do they know it's Christmas?

First blog post... here goes!

I just heard that critically acclaimed Canadian punk band 'Fucked Up' released a cover of 'Do They Know It's Christmas', originally recorded as a benefit in the 80's by 'Band Aid'. Everybody remembers this tune right? I just listened to it on YouTube and it's worth a play. If you like, it's available on ITunes and the money is going to a charity that benefits the plight of Aboriginal women.

NB Potential Unexplored Rock


The map project above locates all areas I know of in NB that have rock potential which hasn't been fully investigated. The coordinates ought to be accurate enough to get you in the ballpark and within view of the rock/boulders. These areas have been somewhat scouted through either drive-bys from a distance or through looking at aerial photos. They deserve someone with some time to go take a look.

I can continue to work on these files for the public good provided I get some indication that there's value for someone out there. For now, they are as-is. If you have anything to add to this effort, please comment or email and I'll do my best to wrap it into the map.

For those of you with Google Earth, you can download the KMZ file for these areas: Here

NB Climbing Gyms



The map project above locates all of NB's climbing gyms that I know of. If you build a new gym and want it listed on this site, please let me know.

NB Ice Climbing



The map project above locates all areas I know of in NB with established ice routes. The coordinates ought to be accurate enough to get you in the ballpark and within view of the ice. In some cases, I've added brief discriptions of the area associated with the area. In other cases, I've added representations of the climber's trail accessing the crag.
