Four strong Quebec ice climbers visited Lac du Cap in their home province from Jan. 26 to Jan. 29 and climbed a number of new routes.

Serge Alexandre Demers Giroux and Louis-Philippe Ménard visited the area to climb new ice and mixed routes in March 2016. More from that trip here.

On this trip, they bought Pad Awan and Bruno Demers-Giroux to explore the shores of Lac du Cap.

They left the parking at Auberge Le Cabanon in -32°C and travelled 10 kilomtres to their camp.

They limbed a number of new routes, including the two-pitchThe Thong M6+R/X, the 95-metre The Shaft Dipped in Caramel WI5+, the one-pitch Crazy Orgy M8- A0, the 50-metre Forked Tongue on Cape M7 and Jump the Cap M6 WI6 90m.
