Ascensões em Val-David tendo Beta

Slipery start

light

Easy start, not really run out, take left at the top to avoid a stretch without any holds.

First pro is 4m high, and it's the hardest part. Very sketchy especially with wet. Don't attempt if you're not comfortable in 5.8.

Excellente grimpe, une des plus belle de val-david. j'étais même content de la refaire pour cleaner.

Craque parfaites, mange les pros, les doigts et les pieds.

First outdoor climb of the year. Got my ass properly kicked by this crack. Rested on rope at the end. Redpoint on toproad.

Nice crack on a slope.

Nice and easy. Was able to place two nuts and a couple cams around #0.75.

Nice one, but got a bit into an easy runout mid-way. Was able to place a #5 and a #6. Could have done it without as well. Lots of guano before the first anchor.

Finally figured out the crux. Next session it goes!

Extrêmement proche... 😈

Trust your feet once you reach the two jog. Scary stuff

3 more tries and the low went!

Git it on my first try this year.

Looks doable, just need to link the whole thing.

4 short pitches, all on bolt anchors. First pitch is very short. Climb on little stair, place nut (around 10 mm) as high as possible, then climb flake without further protection (easier than trying to add another protection). The crux is climbing the big ledge. There is a roof in the way. Protect with 2 tricams, then place right foot on big rock sticking out of the ledge, and use the left arm in opposition and carefully balance onto the ledge. Crawl on knees. Pitch 2: traverse to left, go up and around the void, go back down to a comfortable bolt anchor. Pitch 3: half circle: go diagonally up and left, till the wall, follow the wall to the left and down, then down to next bolted anchor. Pitch 4: dont climb the crack on the wall. Stay at same height and go around the edge of the wall, it is easier than it seems. Then climb up and left to a big Pine. Exit via trail that goes up and right, it goes around the back of Mt King and finishes at Staircase.

Bon progrès!!!!

Good first sesh!! Nearly all moves done!

Tombé au dernier move!! Next sesh 100%.

Feel much more doable than last year

Unlocked some new easier beta for the beginning.

A repeat so I can at least get on top of Elizabeth once in this session...

Was able to get my ass off the ground and get the heel for the next move. Might be more doable than the stand variation...

Sick line

Fun traverse!

Bon progrès!!

Battery died out lol, had completed the hard part and was too tired to do a few moves to get on slab

Low start adds a little fun

The move to pass the roof a lot of fun but rather not 5.6!

One of the best on the right part of the wall in my opinion. More sustained than the others.

Accidentaly my first 5.11a on gear. I thought I was in the 5.7 next to it. I guess the grade comes from a single move not so well protected.

Next session!

Tellement proche!!! La fin est épicé...

Stand start

For the Camera!

About 6 tries, short but fun, technical, crimpy, No jump start for me lol

Few tries today, fun

Rehearsal 👍

4th try after 4 months of not climbing. Got shot down on chimere assis.

3 stars boulder so simple, today I am weak!
