Rock Climbing.
Metcalfe Rock, on the Niagara Escarpment edge above the Kolapore Creek Valley, is one of Southern Ontario's recognized dolostone crags for sport, trad, top-rope, and bouldering. The escarpment rock here is the same Niagara dolostone that defines the Bruce Peninsula climbing further north along the trail.
The brief.
Metcalfe Rock sits within the Kolapore Uplands trail network managed by the Kolapore Wilderness Trails Association — climbers share the access trail with hikers reaching the summit overlook. Devil's Glen and Old Baldy edge into Grey Highlands proper but are reachable from Beaver Valley road approaches; their tier-credit belongs to those municipalities for boundary discipline.
May through October is the established climbing window. Wet escarpment rock in shoulder season is a real consideration on dolostone.
