A series of cliffs along a south/west-facing cliff line in a small valley that seems to run mostly parallel to the Grand Canyon.
There's wet land near much of the base -- so was much buggier in July than the Grand Canyon.
New cliff, opened summer 2022. Looks
The climbing area is maintained by "Parc d'Escalade et de Randonnée de la Montagne D'Argent" (PERMA) -- primarily a climber's organisation. Daily access fee was $14 as of summer 2021, and yearly memberships ($70 as of 2021). Being affiliated with the Alpine Club of Canada, members of certain sections may climb for free upon presentation of their club membership but are still required to pay for on-site camping.
On weekends, there is generally someone there to collect the fees, during the week this is more often done on the honour system.
The site is open all year round with artificial ice falls created over the cliffs over the freezing winter months for Technical Ice Climbing.
A complete guidebook (including hand drawn reproductions, contributed by a local artist) is generally available at the hut on weekends. It has maps for access to the cliffs, and drawings of all the cliffs with routes marked on them. The current official guidebook is fully bilingual.
Leave the accueil (welcome) by the stairs towards the "Grand Canyon", but stay left on Sentier du Lac rather than right to the Grand Canyon. About half way along the ridge left of the Grand Canyon, about 50m past the out-house, look for a sign going left from the trail. Follow this, dropping down below the ridge, then turning right and keeping the faces to your right.
