This is a picture of me working out a 5.10ish unlisted route on top rope (usually trad climbed a bit further right). Picture taken by my friend J-F who tries getting that artistic touch to his pictures.

A fun climb straight up, but better if you traverse "right" at the top to the overhang(towards the trees in the photo), then back to the left to bolts on top. No protection once over the lip, but a fun fall over the ledge if you slip.

We had just gotten to the spot. I snapped this pic right before setting up the TR anchor. I like the little lens flare effect that came out.. Not intentionally and no photoshop

Once the TR anchor set up, one can begin to climb. Great easy route with lots of good hand holds and footholds. Perfect for n00bs (like me).

A view of Mont-King from the approach trail. The left end is steep and very blocky. It has a handful of exposed trad routes. The middle section is severely overhanging and has some of the most impressive lines at Val-David. The headwall on the right is called Le Mur and boasts excellent multipitch routes. The cliff extends further right into the forest. Photo: Yann Troutet.

This is one of my favorite portraits of my partner Souren: as always relaxed, definitely a vertically minded being.

Here we're climbing during a summer thunderstorm in Val David. The area of la Zébrée overhangs several meters and stays continuously dry. La Zébrée is one of only a few aid routes left in Val David. Several attemps at freeing the line have been unsuccesful. The route follows an overhanging finger/hand crack through 25 metres of roofs and faces. A good candidate for becoming Québec's first 5.14.

La Cage aux Folles (the scoop/corner on the left) is an excellent 5.10 pitch that offers a nice multipitch experience when linked to any of a number of routes found below.

Picture taken by Steph in Val-David, summer of 2001. A great little spot. That's me in a nice 5.8.
