Félix in Space Life, 7c, just before he took a whipper! This was the last shot of the roll, and I missed the fall... Photo by Thomas Ribière.

In the close neighbourhood of the crag of Chambly you find the Cascades du Hérisson, a beautiful series of waterfalls on the Hérisson river. Though very touristic, still a very nice half-day hike to do on one of your resting days. This picture is taken at closest fall, the cascade de l'Eventail. By the way, the valley along the hike is bordered with beautiful rocks, but no routes on it .. :(

Technical details: Minolta Maxxum/Dynax 7D camera with Minolta 17-35/2.8 D lens at 35mm. Shutter time 1/4, f32, iso 100

In a nice afternoon of May 2002, I took this picture of Patrick redpointing Crescendo, a 6c+ route on the puzzling limestone of Chambly. Photo by Thomas Ribière.

I took this picture of Patrick after a whipper while he was working Cyclope, a 7c route in November 2001. It was freezing in the shade! Photo by Thomas Ribière.

Florent in "Toujours Plus Haut, Plus Loin" a 22 m high 7a (.11c) in Chambly, one of my ex-local crags. March 2007, not long before sunset.

Florent in the crux of this 5.11a : pushing on a 2-finger pocket for the right hand, and left hand reaching for a crimper. Not good for the tendons.
