Access Issue: Variable Hunting season - Saison de chasse variable
Details
Ce site d'escalade est situé sur un terrain privé qui est englobé par la ZEC, mais avec des dates de chasse souvent différentes de celles de la ZEC. Le propriétaire du terrain nous a averti, si lui ou ses amis nous voient passer sur son terrain durant ces dates, il va remettre en question notre accès. Alors, de ne pas y aller pendant la chasse est un moindre mal en échange d'un accès libre le reste de l'année.
The site is closed during the firearm hunting season, which extends from Saturday, September 30, 2023, to Sunday, October 15, 2023, inclusively.
This climbing area is located on private land that is covered by the ZEC, but with hunting dates that are often different from those of the ZEC. The landowner has warned us that if he or his friends see us on his land during these dates, he will question our access. So, not going during hunting season is a lesser evil in exchange for free access the rest of the year.
Description
The area first had visits in the 70s, the approach followed by the vegetation and shallow cracks repelled most attempts.
More work has been done in the 80s by Gaetan Martineau and in the mid 90s Jean-Francois Beaulieu and Jean-Pierre Ouellet (Peewee) left a couple fixed line while exploring new routes.
In 2009, more ascents are recorded and repeated, this is where we are now, climbers have worked on cleaning, old and new routes, installing anchors and some fixed protection.
When entering the area, a fee of $12.50 (or 120$/season) must be payed cash or by credit card (they are now accepted).
However, it is recommended to pay online before departure to avoid the waiting line at the entrance of the ZEC.
À l'accueil il faut payer un $12.50 (ou 120$/saison) comptant ou par carte bancaire/crédit. Elles sont maintenant acceptées.
Il est néanmoins conseillé de payer en ligne avant le départ afin de s'éviter la file d'attente à l'entrée de la ZEC.
