A lazy sunday afternoon in early May at Mont Rigaud. We were worried the weather would turn bad, but the clouds opened up and the sun came out. This section of rock has three different routes leading to one anchor, each rated 5.10/11. This is my brother Chris, resting near the crux of the rightmost route. We had a rough time trying to lead it so we decided to top rope and go all out on it, and eventually the sequence was discovered.

This is my brother Chris nearly finished on a 5.8+ route on the main lead wall at Allez-Up.

This is me on the roof section of a 5.8+ route on the main lead wall at Allez-Up. Being able to get past this part was very satisfying, as it is a scary section when you are new to the route.
