Description

The sector where the approach trail reaches the cliff. Mostly single-pitch routes 20-25m, but some go further.

Access issues inherited from Val-David

Climbing is well accepted at the park, though an access fee is required. As of summer 2018, this was $12/person/day -- though an annual pass is also available (which is free for local residents).

FA: Laurent Homier & Jérôme Homier, 1998

An imposing line left of chimère. Climb up a technical face to a big overhang move. You can place a cam just below the roof or skip to the next bolt. Beware of ground falls if you skip the cam.

FA: Thomas Ryan, 1986

FA: Paul Laperrière, 1979

FA: Louis Babin, 1989

FA: Paul Laperrière, 1985

FA: Mark Abbott, 1980

FA: Benoit Dubé & Marcel Lehoux, 1982

FA: Jean-Dominique Soudan & Ghislain Allard, 2014

FA: Julien Déry, 1990

The mega-classic right-leaning crack that you see when approaching the area. You have three finish options at the roof.

  1. 5.8: Left traverse around the buldge back to the anchor. Hardly protectable.

  2. 'Symbiose' 5.10d: Straight up the roof. Technical face moves. 2 bolts.

  3. 'Sortie Côté Surplomb' 5.10b: Through the roof crack on the right. The traverse is not protectable.

FA: John Turner, 1958

Same start as 'Sceptre', then move over the buldge to thin face climbing past 4 bolts. Bring a .4 or .5 to protect the first move and .75 or 1 if you don't like runouts.

FA: Paul Laperrière, Christiane Lelièvre & Didier Mazoin, 1980
