An exceptional day that I recommend to everyone. The guides and facilities exceed my expectations and I am delighted with everything I have learned. I have been doing indoor bouldering for a while and was looking for an initiation to the route, this met all of my needs. Can't wait for the second class!
Wow! What a great day of personal accomplishment… Thank you and we look forward to seeing you again.
Thank you very much Léo and Anne-Marie for all the advice and encouragement! It made me want to equip myself with climbing and do it again. I still have several walls to try at the Montagne d'Argent

Great time with Antoine, he picked me up at my hotel in the city and had a great early spring morning in Rigaud. Was able to top rope and lead before the rain started midday. Will recommend Antoine in the future and hope to climb l’Argent in the future as well.

Everything was awesome and the guide justin is super nice.. My only but important complaint are the shoes. They are really beat up and old and the size selection is very minimal… the shoes are so old and stiff that I even got a blister… time to update them guys
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
