Not Contrived Fejaitah

Not Contrived Fejaitah offers a punchy 25-foot test of power and precision on a quirky, sport climbing face tucked along the rocky edges of Cedar Point in New Brunswick. This brief but demanding route demands sharp eyes and steady hands from the first move. Start with a stick clip for the initial bolt to keep things safe as you launch into a dynamic move that reaches a comfortable jug — your launchpad into a wall of unusual features that challenge both balance and footwork. The route’s texture is distinctive: the rock’s face creates awkward holds and subtle shifts in angle that keep you reading the wall with every move. Passing the second bolt, you’ve cleared the crux but attention remains essential as you reach for the third bolt positioned to the right, a slightly unexpected location that forces a slight side-step before pulling over the lip.

At the top, an anchor shared with the nearby Tor-Til-Ah ensures a convenient and secure finish to this one-pitch climb. The surrounding landscape frames the wall with quiet forested slopes and the salty hint of the nearby Bay of Fundy air, completing a focused experience that blends technical challenge with natural solitude. Ideal for climbers seeking a short-but-intense outing, this route offers a neat balance of movement complexity and clear protection, making it a manageable yet rewarding objective when time or conditions call for a swift send.

Approach is straightforward with a short hike from the access trail, through mixed woodland that sets a calm, almost silent stage before clambering onto the steep rock face. The rock quality is firm but demands precise foot placements; climbers should come equipped with clean edging shoes and trust their beta. Given the southern exposure, morning or late afternoon climbs avoid the strongest sun and keep temperatures comfortable, especially on warmer days. Though brief, Not Contrived Fejaitah emphasizes control and technique over brute strength, urging climbers to engage fully with each hold and sequence.

Preparation for this route includes ensuring the stick clip is at hand for the first bolt, as the opening move is often the trickiest, and awareness of the bolt placements signals when to anticipate the subtle shifts in movement style. While the route’s short length allows for quick attempts, the technical crux keeps it from feeling trivial. Local insight suggests timing your climb around tide and weather; wind can sweep in from the nearby shore, adding a crisp edge to the day’s climb. With just three bolts and two rap rings offering protection, confidence in clipping efficiently and managing a safe descent is key. For athletes craving a concentrated blend of style and substance within New Brunswick’s modest climbing scene, Not Contrived Fejaitah hits the mark with its quirky personality and clean lines.

Climber Safety

The initial move requires a stick clip to minimize the risk of a ground fall. The third bolt’s position demands careful attention to clipping technique to avoid awkward body positioning. The anchor is secure but always double-check webbing integrity before descent.

Approach via the marked trail through the woods; expect a 10-minute walk from parking.

Morning and late afternoon climbs offer the best temperature and sun angles.

Consensus:At 5.10c, Not Contrived Fejaitah feels slightly overgraded for climbers comfortable on technical face climbing, though the unusual bolt placements and one crux move add a mental edge. It’s akin to local sport lines in the region, where precision beats endurance, and the crux is short but decisive.
