Quebec Climbing 10/27-10/28

Looking to drytool in Saint-Alban either the 27th and 28th or one of those days and maybe the other day get some pitches in around Val-David. Driving from Burlington VT, happy to carpool, there is camping nearby among other possible accommodations.

Hi Jackie,

I would recommand to post on this forum instead : https://www.escaladequebec.com/forums/forum/partnaires/ or this FB page : facebook.com/groups/1144505…

If you can write your post in French it will be appreciated.

Also it's a long drive between Val-David and Saint-Alban, I would rather go to Lac Long, which is only a 15 minutes drive from Saint-Alban and has superb climbing (it will be cold though, but Val-David would also have been).

Good luck!

Never heard of Lac Long so thank you for the suggestion :D
I suggested Val-David more because it's sort of on the way back down for anyone presumably coming from the Northeast (based on this forum). Thanks for the other URLs, I didn't have these previously and I have a feeling I'll get more takers there :)

Thanks again!

All good recommendations. Lac Long is outstanding. Don't miss it. There's even an English version of the topo: https://www.escaladequebec.com/topos-du-quebec/

For the St-Alban/Lac Long area I would recommend this Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/1153674…

orford is more en route to burlington from st. albans. lac long is sweet though, bring a 70 and gear. 

Thanks for further recommendations. I've been going to Saint Alban since last year and hadn't really looked around at all the other options around. Super stoked!
