The obvious "lion king" rock standing in the middle of the valley (in front of the "Grand Nixon").
The Club Montagnards Laurentiens and the FQME are working to get a official access to this cliff, any access will put in jeopardy the work they are doing for all climbers.
IMPORTANT
The access as well as the crag are all on private property and the owner is not friendly towards climbers due to damage and people not following the rules. The access to this crag is thus very fragile. Many crags around the area have been closed off for this very reason.
Lets change that.
Be extremely respectful of anyone you cross. Do NOT camp. Do NOT make fires.
IMPORTANT
To get to the "Grand Nixon": From the parking lot, walk north along the road for about 100m and turn right on the obvious trail (just before the road turns). Follow the trail straight until a "T" intersection. Going left to the "Grand Nixon" sector. After the intersection, walk on the trail for around 50-100m and head right to an unmarked trail. Look for traces of human passage and you should eventually get to the base of the "Water Gate" sector. Follow the base of the cliff to the valley where you will see the "Grand Nixon" and the "Roche du Roi Lion".
