Description

When coming from south you will clearly see "La mer de glace", a huge slab all covered of ice.
Approaching the wall takes about an hour, but its totally worthy. This crag is home of the classic "Small is Beautiful".

En venant du sud, vous verrez clairement "La mer de glace", une immense dalle toute couverte de glace.
L'approche du mur prend environ une heure, mais c'est tout à fait valable. Ce secteur est le berceau du classique "Small is Beautiful".

Getting There

Park at l'acceuil Shannahan and walk along rang Saguenay for 1.5km, around kilometer km 17, look for flags marking a path that uses the snowmobile trail to approach the wall. At some point the trail cuts left and ascend steep terrain to the wall.
There is now a parking lot that can be used on the left side near km 17. There is room for a few vehicles.

Stationner à l'acceuil Shannahan et marchez sur le rang Saguenay pour 1.5km, autour du km 17, recherchez les drapeaux marquant un sentier qui utilise le sentier de motoneige pour s'approcher du mur. À un moment donné, le sentier coupe à gauche et remonte un terrain escarpé jusqu'au mur.
Il y a maintenant un stationnement que l'on peut utiliser du coté gauche près du km 17. Il y a de la place pour quelques vehicules.
