Description
Wet in rain
This sector includes all the easiest routes of the crag. Therefor, it is generally the most crowded area, especially for the learning classes (high school activities and so forth...). Still, a good place to introduce a friend to climbing, or to practice your Trad techniques before trying a "regular" route!
Access issues inherited from Lac Larouche
45.473637, -72.176758 Take route 222 from Sherbrooke (from route 249, if you come from Montreal and exit the highway right after Magog). Once you've passed the campground near Lac Brompton, you're almost there; Pass chemin Bombardier on your left, then go up a small hill. The entrance is on the other side of the hill; As soon as the road starts to go left, slow down, and look for a green "P" (parking) sign on the right. Seriously slow down before, as the entrance appears at the last moment, and it's a 90 degrees right turn on a dirt road.
Approach
Ethic inherited from Lac Larouche
The history of the site reveals that the access has been a bit precarious, so simply don't bolt anything without asking first. There is a strong reluctance to bolting from the climbers who opened the area ... it is probably meant to remain mostly a trad/toprope area, even though some routes would be better off bolted.
