Description
The best 5.11b face climb that I know of in Quebec.
It's possible to skip the trad start by climbing the dihedral/chimney a few feet right of the start. It's still safer to use a couple of cams but the climbing is really easy. I highly recommend the real version. It adds to the pump.
Once you reach the first bolt, the face climbing starts and you will fight the pump even if all of the holds are good. It is long, non-stop and no chalk visible because the rain cleans it. There are a lot of moves so it's hard to remember a sequence if you want to give it burns.
