Routes in Outaouais

Very sporty, yet naturally protected. Follow the overhanging crack up the middle of the face past two small roofs, all the way to a bolt below the slab finish at the top.

This climb ascends the slightly overhanging middle part of the cliff. Small flakes, crucial footwork. Anchors at the top.

In the middle of the low overhang is a small notch. Pull up through the notch on small holds to easier going on the slab above. Continue up to the next roof above, and pull over that as well.

Might still want a bit more cleaning on the upper section

6 bolts to anchor, 7 to top-out anchor.

Opposing arete to the white problem, and so one face further left from red. Difficulties lie in the top out only.

Similar start as Tappe moi la fesse but Left hand in the hueco and right in an undercling. Go straight up.

Start low on the lip and climb it all the way to its apex. Cool problem for the grade.

Sit start with big sidepull left hand and nearby right hand hold. Climb up to jug ledge using sidepulls and other holds before joining the other routes for the topout.

climb face

Same start as The Temple, but traverse left along horizontal seam to finish on Quatros Hombres.

Hands-to-fingers crack in a left-facing corner.

5.9+ G

Start at the foot of the left side of the face beneath a slight break in the overhang.

1. 25m. Climb directly up to a piton and move over the overhang. Ascend the flake and then traverse right and climb straight up to a piton belay above another large flake.
2. 35m. Straight up the slabs.

Start at a small corner a bit up and to the right of Route B, follow the thin crack to a corner in the upper part of the cliff, then on to 2 bolts as anchors.

Start 1m left of Corner Crack. Climb directly up the center of the face. A bolt 4m up provides only psychological protection for the crux moves.

Pitch 1: Start underneath the right side of the large roof. Climb up a corner to a horizontal crack that takes you right; underneath an overhang, to a slab and anchors beside a pine tree.

Pitch 2: Climb behind the tree and follow the obvious leftward traverse, past a piton to the bottom of a large overhanging chimney and crack system. Belay.

Pitch 3: Climb the chimney and crack to pine trees at the top. Walk down to the left.

1. (5.9) Follow the left line of bolts up a slab to a 2-bolt station. (8 bolts)
2. (5.9) Continue up as the route slightly steepens to the top. Can be combined with a 60m rope and 17 draws.

1 bolt and numerous pins. The Big Overhang Classic. A long, varied, route with a great atmosphere.

1. (5.11c or 5.6 A1). Begin at the base of some huge boulders in the trail at the bottom of the cliff. Move up cracks and old pins to a sloping overhang with an old 1/4" bolt. Pull over the overhang (crux) around to a large corner. Belay.
2. (5.10a or 5.5 A1) The 2nd pitch has numerous in-situ pins. Move up and out of the corner to a vertical crack on the left leading to the obvious roof. Traverse left under the roof to a set of non-rappel bolts at its end. Belay.
3. Scramble to the top.

Start well up the hillside, on the west face of the cliff. Climb diagonally right up to the edge of the long horizontal overhang which splits the face. Move left to gain a set of cracks which are followed to the top.

Directly up the short left face of Mouse Eater, past two bolts.

Climb up some blocks to a thin crack in the slab. Climb up a thick right-facing flake to the top.

Start the same as "Piton Highway". Gain the arete and climb bypassing the corner. Finish as for "Piton Highway".

Sit Start

Runs parallel to, but above, the previous route: traverse with feet along the edge between the overhang and the slab, mostly on the slab.

Start matched on lowest sloper and make your way to the big sidepull crack on the right. Topout to the left of the crack.

See beta here: https://youtu.be/Hw_KtKAIZII

Sit start with a right heelhook. The first move is a v5ish move itself but the rest is fluid and enjoyable to do.

This is a direct route starting with the big jug. Make your way to the slabby top out by following the crack. Scary highball

Starting low with the obvious sidepull feature, reach up for the good holds !!

Same as Epic Plumber but topout after the corner rather than all the way to the end. A little more cruxy

Huge boulder with plenty of lines. Holds everywhere.

Start left of the arete with a right hand undercling.

SDS in low slot, then up left on tiny crimps

Very low start on the big rock that doesn't look climbable. The crux is the first move. Beta : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYiGhYgvWY8

start on jugs and make you way to finish on h1n1, VHard

SDS in front of the rock. Same line as "Jus de Champignon", but don't use the detached rocks for your feet. Spicy!

Takes very large gear.

Climb the bolts to the right of the Bitter Fingers crack.

September 2012, bolts chopped. Route takes very solid gear.

Up the large corner at the left end of the cliff, past two evergreens to the top.

Climb the crack splitting the buttress to the anchors on top. The crack starts as a finger crack and ends as an arm crack.

Climb up to the ledge, then make a few technical moves to gain the arch. Step left onto the steep face which is scaled on unsuspectedly good holds. No pro past the arch.

Climb a system of flake cracks going slightly left, past some (unnecessary?) bolts, to the top.

Climb up the bolt line on the right side of the face until the ledge (after the 5th bolt, where the route becomes far steeper and thinner), then traverse left and continue up the bolts for the left route, finally veering right again to finish on the anchor for the right bolt line.

Nothing special. Mini boulder..

Started With matched hands on Red Dot hold. Then head left twice and proceed along the shelf to the clearing in the top Dyno to Top either matching high or Toping out if feeling brave.

The slab to the left of Crack de nene. Eliminate - do not use the crack or side and climb only the slab on crimps, vertical crack, and small feet.

SDS on crimps, climb the arete on the left.

Start on a good edge caught in the roof. Reach out to the right of the roof.

An excellent line on Squamish style crystals. Start at the bottom left of the boulder, matched on a huge shelf. Traverse right and top out to the left of the tree.

Traversing the whole lip.

Plumb line finger/hand crack on the left side of the face.

Start left hand low on arête, right hand on tiny crimp (red dots). Climb the arête.

SDS with opposing crimps. First moove is the crux.

Running Start jump and top out.

Petite dalle. Départ debout les deux mains sur le cristal à hauteur du visage. Sortir tout droit sans trop se déplacer vers la droite ni la gauche.

Short slab. Stand start, both hands on the crystal at face height. Top out straight up.

Starting on the jug near chest level traverse to the corner. The shelf is out past the corner. Go up just before the big crack.

Climb the face and cracks right of "Morning Crack". Can either finish with a step-right and mantel to the anchors for "Enron", or left to the anchors for "Morning Crack".

Follow the right side of the arete. Rappel anchors at top.

Pull up onto an undercut face and move right to an obvious short dihedral. Follow this and exit via slabs above it to the top.

The wall on your right is out. Go straight up.

The traverse that will make your skin bleed. Sit start on the left end and top just before the tree.

Start low on a good hold and climb the lip. Not really worth it...

Right of Big Joe! High starting hold (7 feet?) PROJECT

sit start

SDS matched really low, reach to thin sidepull and pop up.
