Description Suggest change

Shares the first three pitches with Les Grands Galets, then splits off to the right to climb the ever steepening face during the 4th pitch. 

Continue to follow weakness up and right for three more pitches to top. 

See topo in Le Guide Québécois de l'escalade (Girard & Plamondon, 2000).

We climbed the route entirely clean with a few hooks moves. Pitch 5 had a few hook moves in sequence. 

We topped out in the dark and went right, following a rambling low angle chimney system with a very old fixed line guiding us. Then a long walk through the woods to gain the Statue Trail and return to the base of the climb. 

Perhaps going left after topping out would place you at the top of the Grands Galets rappels, per topo. 

Location Suggest change

Same start as Les Grands Galets.

Protection Suggest change

As of October 2024 all belays had at least one modern bolt with a mix of additional older bolts.
