Cette section a été développée en grande partie par Andrew Hendry et son crew. Je n'ai pas eu le temps d'updater la section comme il faut, donc pour l'instant j'ai copié son topo textuellement(avec son accord). Seulement en anglais. Les cotations et le nombre d’étoiles présentés ici peuvent différer de ceux utilisés ailleurs sur le site.
General Directions and Orientation
(15-20 min walk from parking to La Bête)
GPS on subsequent pages
1. Start on Lover’s Leap trail. When it turns and heads uphill to the left, instead head downhill
2. You will soon hit a very old over-grown road. Turn left and walk along the road.
3. Follow the (very) old road until it crosses a creek, turn left just before the creek crossing, and follow the faint winding trail along the creek (keeping the creek on your right).
4. Just a few meters after you pass a ~5 m high waterfall, you will find the boulders on the other side of the creek.
5. Head pretty much straight uphill (no trail) to get from Tracking to La Bête.
6. Continue up-hill, angling about 45 degrees to the left to find Orthanc.
7. Mo-no-rail, Flesh Eater, Triangle Therapy, The Expanse, I Miss Us, etc. are just 20 m up the hill from the trail (and visible through the trees)
8. Burden of Genes is on the peak of the hill going from Tracking the opposite direction as La Bête.
9. Frickin Fabulous Fridge (and the other possible boulders) are along a bike path that winds from 1.
