Description Suggest change

With over a dozen glue-in anchors, St Helen’s Island is the perfect place to learn how to climb on real rock. The top-roping routes are found in the Beta, Alpha, Trans and PSY areas. There are two teaching anchors found at the top of Alpha and PSY (one each). They are on the ground and a few meters away from the edge of the cliff. They can be used to practice manoeuvres and rappels from a flat and safe ground. Always use your own equipment to install top-ropes. Never pass the rope directly into the anchors to top-rope.

Avec plus d'une douzaine de relais sur scellements, l’Île Ste-Hélène est un endroit parfait pour s’initier au rocher extérieur. Les voies de moulinettes se trouvent tous dans les secteurs Beta, Alpha, Trans et PSY. Il existe aussi deux relais d’enseignement (un à Alpha et un à PSY) posé au sol du sommet à quelques mètres des relais des voies. Ils permettent l’enseignement et la pratique des manœuvres de rappel et de nettoyage sur un sol plat et sécuritaire. Il est important d’utiliser son propre équipement pour la pose de moulinettes et de ne pas passer sa corde directement dans les scellements.

Getting There Suggest change

To get to the anchors, follow the trail between Dynamite and Syrah on the left side of the parking lot.

Pour installer les moulinettes, suivre le sentier entre Dynamite et Syrah du côté gauche du stationnement.
