Ascents in Québec as various tick types by Andy Gnarr

Awesome climb with long stretches of good hand and finger crack. The pro was good most of the way up, with only one section near the top that I had to run out a bit.

Even climbed it a second time on top rope to clean the anchor at the end of the day.

Okay climbing, but it is very dirty and might be a few loose rocks under more of the moss and dirt. There are currently no bolts at the top so you need to build an anchor, but it is pretty easy to top out.

A bit of a one move wonder. We did a slight variation of the start (because there was a boat in the way of the start) by starting at 'Jouer avec le Feu', clipping the first bolt, then traversing left and clipping the second bolt of 'Marco Polo' with an extended draw to reduce rope drag and continuing up the rest of the route.

Climbed this after D-Lit as a warm up because it looked so fun.

Fun route, mellow at the bottom, straight into a hard crux, then continues with sustained climbing on small holds to the top. The route felt like about 5.11a to me, although others seem to have listed it as easier, the FA listed it as 5.11b.

Fun climbing with good moves throughout.

Mellow climbing down low, crux is at the top.

Fun climb with a few finger and hand crack moves.

Cool climb with some stemming moves. Climbs much easier than the suggested 5.10d/11a from the FQME guide book if you can find the beta.

The crack was fairly dirty, but still good climbing and good protection.

Made it through the crux where I slipped on my first attempt. Had to go more to the right than I felt you should, but I couldn't find any holds straight up the bolt line.

Sustained, good climbing all the way to the top.

First climb of the season!

First move was harder than expected, maybe not the best choice for a warm up after not climbing much for a few weeks.

Lots of lichen at the top, doesn't look like it gets climbed much.

Got the second attempt on top rope clean, and figured out clipping positions. Lots of awesome low hands and high feet.

Managed to get the red point clean even with a bit of a mix up with the beta near the 3rd bolt. Lots of pulling hard on small crimps and finding microscopic feet or just smearing on blank rock.

Started up the face just right of the first bolt instead of on the left side this time.

Great slab pushing off small edges!

Great warm up, this climb has a little bit of every style.

Good to be back out on real rock. Hold get a little thin near the top but makes for some fun moves.

Fun slab with small crimps.
