The Eardley Escarpment is contained in Gatineau Park, managed by the National Capital Commission (NCC). The NCC has closed climbing at all but a few of the crags. As of 2011, only Home Cliff (main corner area and rightwards to Piton Highway), Western Cwm (left or western side), the Twin Ribs (Copa Cabana and Down Under), and Eastern Block are open for climbing.
Cliff-top access is permitted only at Home Cliff and Western Cwm, at other crags climbs must be climbed from ground up.
The NCC, land-managers for Gatineau park, have a history of changing their web-page layout making direct-linking risky. As of fall 2018, their statement on climbing is available at: http://ncc-ccn.gc.ca/places/rock-climbing
While the origins of the closure was ecological sensitivity for the Eardley Escarpment (which is on the southern flank of the park), and originated as specific closures in that area, the current phrasing is a list of permitted areas within the park, meaning anything not in that list is, by omission, not open to climbing.
Park on Beamish road. Walk a little to the left on Chemin De La Montagne and before the Fire Truck sign, enter the forest and head to your right while following a ''semi-trail'' for 5min. You can't miss the boulder from there.
No new development or bolting allowed. Strong tradition of leaving trad routes trad, even if badly run-out.
Graphique de l'historique des voies
The name of the boulder was given to the young guy who died in this area. A tomb stone can be seen from the boulder itself.
