Do you still need permission to cross private land or has it been established as ok to do?

As far as I know, there is no need to cross private property. Just park at the end of the plowed road and hike up the unplowed section toward OJ. At some point up the road you'll be able to turn left off the road and sidehill down into the drainage. If you walk far enough up the road you should be able to do this without jumping the barbed wire fence .. at least this was the case last year.

At the end of the maintained road across from the route is a small parking area for a cabin. There is also a dated sign nailed to a tree directing climbers to not trespass. Park here and begin walking up the road. The provincial park boundary is marked by a sign approx 200 m up the road. Go another 500 m and look for flagging tape on the left side. The trail splits after 50 m. One fork climbs the fence (not cool) while the other goes up and right until it passes through an open gate. Follow flagging and trench to the route.

...what he said.

don't even think about crossing the fence!

follow the fenceline gently uphill about 200m distance and pass thru an obvious gate. the new trail stays high, near and against the cliffband. still needs to be cleared a bit, but easy travel. we were 25min from the car to the route, and i refuse to sweat in the winter (on short approaches anyway).

the route is in superb shape - crisp, a bit brittle, quite tricky on the final column.

cheers,
