Back in the day, I mean like 10 years ago, the crew finding new boulder problems in Halifax was very small. I guess the number of people who go out NOW and search for new boulders is probably still small. What I'm trying to get at is that even though I wrote a guidebook for Halifax bouldering there are quality boulder problems that were not included in the book. Some would argue that everything should be in a guidebook but I have my reasons for not doing so. Some of these gems are reached by long heinous hikes and all of that for maybe only one boulder and one quality line. But again some of these hidden blocs are equal to the best lines around Hfx. Pictured above is Chris Eager, an old school player, that was part of the gem hunting crew. The boulder problem is called Delivery Boy (v8) found in Musquodoboit Harbour. So good. Maybe some day someone will go there and repeat it...

Zig - providing you've got time you should do a post every once in a while to a problem in the boonies with directions on google earth. That way all these young bucks start to recognize..haha.

top five rarely or unrepeated hidden gems in NS? where ARE THE GOODS HIDING! oh yeah treasure hunt
damn, its harder to shit disturb here than on Climbeasterncanada.
Nate Smith repeated it while we were out showing him some of the other boulders not too far from there that we had been developing. Its a sick line! Very unique moves. I was able to get the moves in 2 parts, but didnt put it together that day. There is so many amazing problems just waiting to be sent in Musquodobit, its overwhelming!!
