Domino Effect offers climbers a concise yet compelling sport climb that tests both technique and endurance on a striking 75-foot vertical face at Cedar Point, New Brunswick. From the base, you launch immediately into an inviting open book corner, where the rock challenges you with a small bulge forcing thoughtful foot placement and steady balance. As you ascend, the route navigates through a series of tight, low overhangs, each requiring precise moves and a confident grip before merging into the upper section famously shared with Gomez, Lopez, and Fitzgerald. The rock here is solid, with ten well-spaced bolts that provide reliable protection yet call for quick, smooth clipping to maintain momentum.

Cedar Point's crag lies within a remote stretch of New Brunswick’s rugged landscape, delivering not only a climbing challenge but also a peaceful escape surrounded by unspoiled forest slopes. The approach follows a rugged path that sharpens anticipation with its quiet, tree-lined trails and occasional glimpses of the nearby river pushing through the valley below. Expect to spend roughly 30 minutes navigating this access, which rewards perseverance with a clean wall bathed in morning light, perfect for cooler days.

Planning this climb means gearing up with a standard sport rack of quickdraws—ten in total—and shoes that balance edging precision with comfort for navigating the bulge and roof sequences. Hydration is crucial here; while the climb is relatively short, the sustained technical sections can sap strength quickly. Try to arrive early to enjoy less crowded routes and take advantage of the morning shade which typically lingers until noon.

The route grades out at 5.10d, marking it as a moderately stiff challenge that feels consistently engaging rather than punishing. The crux transitions through the overhangs, where body tension and foot sequencing define success. Compared to other local climbs, Domino Effect leans towards technical finesse over brute strength, making it an excellent option for climbers looking to sharpen their movement in tight spaces.

Upon completion, descent is straightforward: a single rappel from a solid anchor system returns you safely to the base. Watch your footing on the topout ledge—while stable, it narrows abruptly, demanding careful attention to avoid slips.

Whether it's your first venture into New Brunswick’s climbing scene or a targeted visit to hone sport skills, Domino Effect stands out for its clear lines, measured difficulty, and the quiet thrill of ascending a face that feels both wild and welcoming.
