Quebec Five-Pitch 5.11+ Brought to Life

This bolted multi-pitch is one of Val-David's tallest routes, and it was first climbed over 30 years ago

Yann Gauthier recently dusted off a five-pitch route in Val-David called Ambiance, which was first climbed in the 1980s but mostly forgotten over the years. It follows solid granite up traverses, short vertical walls and exposed climbing at the top of Mont King. The 15-minute film includes an interview with Quebec legend Benoit Dubé.
