Access Issue: Variable Hunting season - Saison de chasse variable Details

Le site est fermé durant la chasse à l'arme à feu qui est du samedi 30 septembre 2023 au dimanche 15 octobre 2023 inclusivement.
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.

Getting There

The left section is the first sector you'll see when driving. You can easily spot the giant dihedral of "La Toute Boltée".

Park a the small parking on the left side (north-west) of the road, identified with a blue sign (dont confuse with Sanatorium parking which is the first identified parking you encounter not long after crossing the bridge)

The trail is hard to spot, 10 meters north-east from the parking, on the left side of the road.

After walking about 10 minutes uphill, there is a yellow spine board fixed to a large tree. 2 meters after the spine board, take the left at the fork.

Continue uphill on the trail toward a large gully.
