Visual Adventures | Suffer Candy Volume 1 | Suffer Candy Volume 2
This guide covers the majority of rock climbing to be found in Montrose, Ridgway, Ouray and Silverton, Colorado. Most of the routes are sport climbs, but there is a little bit of everything and there is a wide variety of rock types to choose from. Route lengths are between 30′ and rise up to about 1,400′. We got sun. We got shade. Pretty much the only thing we don’t have is splitter granite. The scenery is top-notch, and the season never ends.

For almost 8,000 years native people have lived around the Olympic Mountains. The Duwamish of the Salish sea call them ‘Sun-a-do’, and the ancestors of the Klallam have been living, hunting and gathering in the high mountains since time immemorial.The Spanish sailed along the coast in 1774 and named the highest peak, Cerro Nevado de Santa Rosalia. In 1788, the British Explorer Roger Meares renamed the highest peak, Mt Olympus because it looked like the ‘abode of the gods.’ and just like that the Olympic Mountains became part of the European map.The 1890s saw climbers begin ascending the summits of Mt. Olympus, with the main summit finally being climbed in 1907. Deer Park became Washington’s premier ski area in the mid 1930s. The Hurricane Ridge road was built in the early 50s and the ski area moved from Deer Park, establishing a new winter recreation center for the Olympic National Park. Ski touring began along the roads of Deer Park and Hurricane Ridge and shifted to the Bailey Range and the higher peaks in the 1990s.

Lac Long
by Arian Manchego
Escalade Portneuf Facebook
Un bijou caché dans le coeur de Portneuf, la falaise du lac Long offre une centaine de voies de different styles dans un milieu enchanteur. La majorité des parcours sont en trad ou en mixte mais on y retrouve assez de voies sportives pour meubler quelques visites. Les grimpeurs capables de leader du 5.10 en montant auront plus de choix car pour l’instant le nombre de voies faciles est limité. Dans ce guide nous proposons l’information nécessaire pour s’orienter mais pas plus, afin de préserver un sentiment de découverte et d’aventure. Un rocher excellent, une falaise ensoleillée et mystérieuse, de la baignade et du camping… qu’attendez-vous? ENGLISH : We hope to have an English-language version of the rakkup guidebook available soon.
