About Mount Orford (Pic aux Corbeaux):
|
Located in the Parc du Mont Orford provincial park. Serious Development here began in the 90s, and it is now one of Quebec's nicest sport climbing areas. It also has superb unclimbed lines that could be the future of hard sport climbing in Quebec. This area doesn't have many routes under 5.10, and would not be an enjoyable destination if you can't climb at that level. It is now seeing development for routes in the hard 5.13 range, and can be a nice place to log some hard climbing on beautiful gneiss. |

| Directions: | Take exit 115 on highway 10 between Sherbrooke and Montreal. Instead of going for the Parc du Mont Orford park entrance, turn left and look for the parking entrance to your right. The hike is about 20 mins long, and steep. Prepare to weep. |
