Parois des Bois Pierre Cornellier & David Marche / 2022 Purchase this book [This guidebook is in French with an English legend at the back] Although this book is primarily about climbing in the Laurentians, it includes the routes at Rigaud (but not the boulders). The guidebook is beautiful, with lots of well-labeled colour photos to find the routes, and nice action shots to boot. There are also great anecdotes and history vignettes sprinkled in among the topos.

Rakkup Québec: Mont Rigaud Socrate Badeau, 2018 Purchase this book Mount Rigaud is a popular little crag about 45 min from Montreal and 80min from Ottawa. Unfortunately over the years access has been precarious and little to no formal information was available. Development however has been continuous and there are now close to 100 climbs. Most of these are short sport climbs, but there are a few nice trad lines. With access now made easier thanks to the implication of the ski center, the municipality and the FQME. It was judged time to get an accurate guide done. This guide, thanks to the help of the main developers, contains all of the correct information for all the climbs of Mount Rigaud.
