11,000ers of the Canadian Rockies

Bill Corbett / Rocky Mountain Books / 2016

From the cover blurb: "This new edition of The 11,000ers of the Canadian Rockies thoroughly updates route and access information, particularly taking into account the warming trends and glacier retreat that are significantly reshaping the landscape through which mountaineers travel. For those seeking fresh challenges or high peaks to bag, this revision introduces four more mountains on the threshold of 11,000 feet, bringing the potential total to 58 that reach the magic mark.

"Each entry provides a vivid description of the peak, an extensive history of early and subsequent ascents (and ski descents) and a detailed description of moderate to intermediate routes, including access and approach information. The text is liberally illustrated in full color and features dozens of route and climbing photos and detailed area maps."

Here's a complete guide to climbing in the Parc Régional du Poisson Blanc. There has long been a little climbing going on in the park. But in 2016, following a request from park managers, the Park in collaboration with the FQME and several volunteers proceeded to develop climbing in on the reservoir cliffs. The result is what you'll find in this guide, Three sectors with over 100 routes.
The approach to the climbing is by boat only. It can take up to 4 hours by canoe to get there. Canoeing/camping on the islands is therefore common at the designated sites. For reservations and camping information, please refer to the Poisson Blanc website: https://poissonblanc.ca/
It is essential to respect the Park's regulations. Access and climbing is a privilege, so please help us maintain access to this unique site.

Les contributions sur MP devraient ajouter du Beta et des informations supplémentaires sur la gestuelle, le type et le positionnement de la protection.

Une contribution sur MP qui consiste à mettre une photo avec un tracé de la voie et le descriptif d’une voie afin de remplacer un topo existant n’est pas une contribution positive pour le CEMA.

Les nombreux secteurs de grimpe sont répartis sur plusieurs sections de falaises de 20 à 80 mètres de hauteur et offrent de l'escalade de tous les styles et de tous les niveaux: des voies sportives déversantes, des "splitter cracks", des "crimps fests" dans des faces raides, et des classiques modérés inoubliables. Les tradeux y trouveront leur compte autant que les sporteux, les machines de 5.13 autant que les "weekend warriors" qui cherchent de jolies 5.7. Même les têtes de bloc trouveront plusieurs cailloux de qualité éparpillés un peu partout dans le parc.

Québec: Mont Larose (Weir) Rock Climbing

Socrate Badeau / Rakkup / 2021

Purchase this book

Le Mont Larose, situé au cœur des Laurentides, est un joyau de l'escalade du Québec. À Weir, comme il est appelé par les grimpeurs, on y retrouve un peu de tout, fissures, dièdres, voies sport, multi-longueurs, de l'artif, des devers, des toits et de la dalle. Vraiment de tout!
L'ambiance y est irréelle avec les antennes paraboliques de TATA Communication, et l'escalade y est superbe. Souvent considéré comme un lieu où l'escalade était difficile. Dans les dernières années, un grand projet, chapeauté par la FQME, de mise à niveau des voies et d'ouverture de nouvelles voies, a aidé à rendre l'escalade plus variée à travers les cotations. Tous y trouveront du plaisir.

Mount Larose is situated in the heart of the Laurentians. Weir, as it is called by local climbers is one of the premiere climbing areas of the province. It towers 100m over the alien landscape caused by the communication dishes of TATA Communications. The climbing here is quite phenomenal. You can find a bit of everything, slabs, faces, overhangs, roofs, sport climbs, crack climbs, test-pieces, hardcore climbs, multi pitches, beautiful dihedrals and aretes, it really has it all! When people think of climbing at Weir, the first reaction is that there is not much easy stuff. But in the last few years thanks to the FQME and a governmental program to update, rebolt, and open up new climbs, Weir now has an amazing variety of climbs in all grades. There is something for everyone to enjoy.

Joel Harvie poured his heart and soul into this labour of love. A multi year project fueled by his own passion for our sport, and our Province. Featuring over 300 problems on the east coast of Newfoundland. It's beautiful full colour layout features piles of action shots of all the classics and a ring bound format.

It covers the coastal half of the developed bouldering problems near St. John's. It covers a mere approximately 48 KM of coast from Maddox Cove in the South to Pouch Cove in the North. It is a testament to potential for bouldering in Newfoundland that such a small area of coast near capital city contains enough boulder problems for a whole guide. The access to climbing is second to none.

It does not include 35 KMS of bouldering inland from St. John's to Holyrood Access road which contains just as many established bouldering problems.

With access now made easier thanks to the implication of the ski center, the municipality and the FQME. It was judged time to get an accurate guide done.

Hidden within the majestic valleys of the Sierra Madre Oriental, just outside the sprawling city of Monterrey, lies the wonderland that is Parque La Huasteca.

Gigantic spines of limestone cut the jagged landscape like knifes to the heavens and cascading canyons bestow hypnotizing vistas that reach as far as the eye can see. For decades, the park remained elusive to the outside world, an almost mythical place that few ventured into but the enigmatic Huichol people, whose annual pilgrimage to the pay tribute to Abuelo Fuego (Grandfather Fire) has been a tradition for millennia.

In recent years, the park has witnessed an awakening. The tales of its beauty have travelled far and wide, carried by images of its breathtaking scenery and signature views of Pico Independencia. Combined with it’s incredible selection of climbing routes ranging in grades from 5.7 to 5.14+, and boulders from V0 – V11, the park continues to attract visitors from across the globe and as far as the U.K., Germany and Sweden.

Possessing a plethora of activities including sport climbing, bouldering, big walling, running, mountaineering, hiking, cycling, highlining, base jumping and camping, there is something to quiche the thirst of even the most ambitious adventurer!

Québec: Escalade Sainte-Émélie (Proximus et Sérénité)

Socrate Badeau / / 2016

Purchase this book

Climbing guide for part of the Matawinie area of Lanaudière situated just north of the village of Sainte-Émélie-de-l’Énergie in Quebec. For now it contains the Proximus and Sérénité cliffs with climbs ranging from 5.4 to 5.13. These are two unique and different climbing areas. Sérénité as the name implies is simply magical. Although climbing here is great, it's the setting that makes the place. Situated in complete nature, the area has a canyon like feel to it. Climbs are less for the novice and will provide a good challenge for most climbers.

Le guide d’escalade de Sainte-Émélie-de-l’Énergie couvre l’escalade située dans la section du Parc Régional de la Matawinie qui se trouve au nord du village de Sainte-Émélie-de-l’Énergie. En ce moment, il contient la Paroi Proximus et la Paroi Sérénité. Sérénité comme le nom dit est simplement un lieu enchanteur. Malgré le fait indéniable que l’escalade y est superbe, c’est l’emplacement qui y donne son charme. La paroi est située en pleine nature, dans une vallée étroite avec un ruisseau qui fait juste assez de bruit, même les non grimpeurs vont trouver le lieu paisible. Les voies sont d’une difficulté plus grande et elles vont offrir un défi aux grimpeurs de tous les niveaux.

The Whole Enchilada -- A Climber's Guide to Potrero Chico, Mexico

Dane Bass, Puma Press, February 2007, 248 pages.

Unfortunately, the guide wasn't proofread very well and there are lots of typos and spelling errors, but that's not a serious problem.

Purchase this book

As the title lays out, this is a book of select alpine climbs mainly in BC, but also a few in Washington. The book is interesting for being divided into a section covering all of the approaches and another covering all of the climbs. McLane writes to a high standard and this book is no exception.

There are some fairly accessible day climbs in here as well as some monsters. Would you believe that there's a 37 pitch rock route only a few hours from Vancouver?
