Nodos en Red Rocks

The red rocks are an extensive area of rock faces alternated with steep gullies. Its left part is composed of metamorphic marble, found in numerous outcrops in the southern 1/3 of the Gatineau Park, but rather unusual along the escarpment. This area has large faces of red rock toward its right side.

This area has been closed by the NCC since 2005.

A bolted project in the steepest part of the marble outcrop in the left part of the cliffs.

Difficult to locate. Ascend the scree field at the base of the upper headwall. Belay in a left to right slanting gully, where the vegetation gives way to rock.

1. (5.2 X) Climb up and right until the rock steepens, then go straight up to a grassy slope and traverse back left to a cedar tree belay. Loose and scary.
2. (5.7) Use the tree to et onto the rock. move up a couple of meters, then traverse left along an obvious easy line, underneath a long sloping overhang. Cross a depression in the rock, and step down to a big ledge.
3. (5.9) The long sloping overhang ends at a left-facing dihedral. Climb up this short overhanging corner above the belay (3 pins), then over a bird's nest and up to a wide ledge on the left. Make one hard ove up the overhanging wall above to easy ground.
