Description

Interesting dihedral. A very positive edge with good feet gradually narrows into a finger constriction, then into discontinuous finger pods (1 pad or so). Gets gradually harder as you go up, the crux being towards the top of the first part. Gets to a tree, then a 2nd shorter and easier (10-) section.

Awesome technical corner, with good but not always obvious good gear. One just wish it was longer.

Location

Just above the Mur de Boston. See "Guide d'escalade de l'Estrie" p.26 (route #31).

Protection

Decent gear exists but some care must be taken to ensure good placements towards the top as the finger-size crack at the front widens greatly at the back. Mostly finger sizes.

2-rings anchor at the top.

[Hide Comment] Could use a little bit of love (brush). Really fun 10+ line. Technical more than physical. Gear is good enough, just go for it! Aug 29, 2020
