Le Mont Larose, situé au cœur des Laurentides, est un joyau de l’escalade du Québec. À Weir, comme il est appelé par les grimpeurs, on y retrouve un peu de tout, fissures, dièdres, voies sport, multi-longueurs, de l’artif, des devers, des toits et de la dalle. Vraiment de tout!
L’ambiance y est irréelle avec les antennes paraboliques de TATA Communication, et l’escalade y est superbe. Souvent considéré comme un lieu où l’escalade était difficile. Dans les dernières années, un grand projet, chapeauté par la FQME, de mise à niveau des voies et d’ouverture de nouvelles voies, a aidé à rendre l’escalade plus variée à travers les cotations. Tous y trouveront du plaisir.

Mount Larose is situated in the heart of the Laurentians. Weir, as it is called by local climbers is one of the premiere climbing areas of the province. It towers 100m over the alien landscape caused by the communication dishes of TATA Communications. The climbing here is quite phenomenal. You can find a bit of everything, slabs, faces, overhangs, roofs, sport climbs, crack climbs, test-pieces, hardcore climbs, multi pitches, beautiful dihedrals and aretes, it really has it all! When people think of climbing at Weir, the first reaction is that there is not much easy stuff. But in the last few years thanks to the FQME and a governmental program to update, rebolt, and open up new climbs, Weir now has an amazing variety of climbs in all grades. There is something for everyone to enjoy.

Mount Rigaud is a popular little crag about 45 min from Montreal and 80 min 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. There has also always been some bouldering done on the obvious boulders along the trail. But in the past few years Nick Cowan has been exploring and has cleaned and climbed over 100 problems all over the mountain. 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 and boulders of Mount Rigaud.

Le Mont Rigaud est une destination très populaire pour l’escalade étant à 45 min de Montréal et 80 min d’Ottawa. Malheureusement, l’accès était précaire et peu d’informations étaient disponibles pour les voies. Malgré tout, le développement a continué et la falaise compte aujourd’hui près de 100 voies. Il y a toujours eu du bloc de fait sur les blocs le long du sentier. Mais dans les dernières années, Nick Cowan a nettoyé et grimpé plus de 100 problèmes sur la montagne. Heureusement, l’escalade est simplifiée grâce à la participation de la Station de Ski pour le stationnement. De plus, des discussions sont en cours entre la FQME, la municipalité et le propriétaire pour rendre l’accès officiel. Alors, avec la collaboration des ouvreurs le présent topo contient l’information exacte sur tous les voies et blocs.

Hidden within the majestic valleys of the Sierra Madre Oriental, just outside the sprawling city of Monterrey, lies the wonderland that is Parque La Huasteca.

Gigantic spines of limestone cut the jagged landscape like knifes to the heavens and cascading canyons bestow hypnotizing vistas that reach as far as the eye can see. For decades, the park remained elusive to the outside world, an almost mythical place that few ventured into but the enigmatic Huichol people, whose annual pilgrimage to the pay tribute to Abuelo Fuego (Grandfather Fire) has been a tradition for millennia.

In recent years, the park has witnessed an awakening. The tales of it’s beauty have travelled far and wide, carried by images of it’s breathtaking scenery and signature views of Pico Independencia. Combined with it’s incredible selection of climbing routes ranging in grades from 5.7 to 5.14+, and boulders from V0 – V11 as well as numerous big walls, the park continues to attract visitors from across the globe and as far as the U.K., Germany and Sweden.

Possessing a plethora of activities including sport climbing, bouldering, big walling, running, mountaineering, hiking, cycling, highlining, base jumping and camping, there is something to quiche the thirst of even the most ambitious adventurer!

It is said Colorado has 300 sunny days a year. Combine that with several thousand mountains, and a winter climate that’s downright temperate. The result: one of the best places on the planet for ski touring. Of course nothing is perfect. Colorado challenges backcountry skiers with limited public access options, due in part to it being a mostly rural, relatively un-roaded western state. More importantly, due to various climatic factors the state’s mountains can be prone to dangerous avalanches for much of every winter. Yet options exist. Key with backcountry travel is picking routes with lower angle pitches and other avalanche-mitigating factors. While these “light tours” are surprisingly difficult to find, they do exist. We detail a selection of Colorado lends itself to this as well, with most of the state’s more than twenty ski resorts allowing uphill skiing. Thus, we offer a special mix here, combining a variety of “easy” backcountry routes with recommended resort options. Pick one of our many days of Colorado sunshine, get out and enjoy.

Home to multiple ski areas, extreme skiers and sledders, ski and mountain guides, and an incredibly rich mining history, the sleepy town of Silverton is a fantastic place to visit. It speaks for itself when it comes to remote and rugged mountain towns of the west. Many mountain ranges do not have a year round maintained road passing through them. The San Juan Mountain Range, from Durango through Silverton and on to Ouray has three: Coal Bank, Molas, and Red Mountain Passes. Highway 550 brings powder-hounds through some of Colorado’s most remote and diverse ski terrain. Basins adjacent to Highway 550, also known as the Million Dollar Highway, boast an annual snowfall of 400”. The mountains accessed from Silverton possess some of the largest ski descents in the lower 48, and some of the deepest snow in all of Colorado. The locations showcased in this atlas offer the entire spectrum of terrain and difficulty, from novice to extreme and everything in between. Provided you already have a small amount of experience as a backcountry skier and have completed a Level 1 avalanche course, there is something in this atlas for everyone.
