Finger Eleven offers a refreshing introduction to traditional climbing in New Brunswick’s often underrated Simpson Wall. Located on the right-hand edge of a substantial yellow birch, this one-pitch route stretches 45 feet along a prominent flake before threading into a diagonal finger crack that demands both finesse and steady hand jams. The climb’s moderate 5.4 rating invites climbers to engage with natural features—ring locks and delicate finger jams—without feeling overwhelmed. As you ascend, the rock’s texture gives a satisfying grip underfoot, while the forest around you provides a quiet pulse of life. The crack system feels alive, subtly challenging you to maintain balance and controlled tension while its angles shift ever so slightly, guiding you just right of the nearby Stone Temple Pilots route. Protection consists mainly of a standard rack with secure placements along the crack, culminating in a reliable tree anchor to top out safely. This route is perfect for climbers refining crack climbing technique or those seeking a straightforward pitch that blends nature’s rugged character with accessible protection. Approaching Finger Eleven takes about 15 minutes on a well-maintained trail through gentle underbrush. The area’s latitude at 45.44 degrees north ensures a temperate climate most of the year, with afternoon shade making summer ascents comfortable. Keep in mind the wall’s northeast aspect favors mid-morning to early afternoon climbing, while spring and fall offer ideal temperatures and fewer insects. After topping out, a short, clear descent returns climbers safely to the trailhead. Whether you are sharpening traditional skills or simply savoring a solid climb amid peaceful forest surroundings, Finger Eleven at Simpson Wall stands as an exemplary route where natural features and thoughtful climbing converge.
