The climbing at Mont Bédard was mostly developed in the past few years and the routes range from 5.7 to 5.13 and up to 30 metres.

Gauthier has established many of the lines, including bolted climbs like Yin and Yann 5.12, P38 Traverse 5.12, Time is Luck 5.12, and trad climbs like Chibougamau with love 5.10 and Golden Goose 5.9. Full topo here.
