Description Suggest change

There is sun until early/ mid afternoon. On some day it can be pretty windy. Not very crowded. Exception of the Grand Galets route which may have a party or two on the week-ends.

Good rock, some very strong gray granite and some orange rock which is a bit flaky on surface. Long routes: between 150 and 300 meters. Most of the free stuff is very hard with some moderate here and there. A lot of aid climbing. A portaledge may be useful on at least 3 routes.

Due to the annual closures due to peregrine falcon nesting, most routes need cleaning every year so don't forget your brushes.

Season: The cliff is officially closed between 1st of March and 1st of August (peregrine falcon). Rock climbing season is full on between 1st of August to late October/ early November.

 Please reach out to the park for details regarding the access. SEPAQ Fjord-du-Saguenay.

Getting There Suggest change

De Québec, prenez la 175 Nord, à Chicoutimi tournez à droite sur la 170 en direction de la baie. Restez sur la 170 jusqu'à Rivière Éternité. Dans le village, suivez les indications, tournez à gauche à la station-service/dépanneur et l'entrée du parc est à environ 1 km. Le parking est 7 km plus loin.

Options d'approche:

  • Zodiac : de loin la manière la plus pratique. Un aller-retour coûte 200$ en 2023 avec Saguenay Aventures. Une fois au Cap vous pouvez les contacter depuis la plage de granit une fois pour changer l'horaire.
  • Cannot/ Kayak : 2 km en paddle depuis le parking (je suggère cependant de commencer dans l'eau, pas sur le parking). Les bateaux touristiques peuvent produire de grosses vagues, attention. Au moins 2 jeux complets de matériel d'escalade sont dans le Fjord, donc vous ne voudriez pas surcharger votre embarcation
  • À pied : marchez jusqu'à la statue. Derrière l'ancien toilette sur la droite, il y a un sentier pour grimpeurs qui commence. Environ 3 heures depuis le centre de service jusqu'au pied de la falaise. Raide et à travers les broussailles.

---

From Quebec, take the 175 North, in Chicoutimi take a right on the 170 towards the bay.  Stay on the 170 up to Rivière Eternité.  In the village, follow the indications, take a left at the gas station/depanneur and the entrance to the park is about 1 km away.  The parking is about 7km further at the end of the road.

Approach options:

  • Zodiac: by far the most convenient way. A round trip is 200$ as of 2023 with Saguenay Aventures. Once at the cliff, you can contact them from the granite beach for changing the timing.
  • Paddling: 2km paddle from the parking lot (I suggest starting in the water, not in the parking lot though). Tourist boats can produce large waves, beware. At least 2 full aid racks are laying in the Fjord, so you don't want to overload your canoe too much.
  • By foot: walk up to the statue. Behing the old toiler pit on the right, there is a climber trail that starts. 3 hours-ish from the service center to the base of the cliff. Steep and bushwhacky.
