The 100-metre-long rock climbing wall is naturally built and ideal for top-rope climbing and bouldering.
The rock wall is well maintained and watered regularly to ensure a “nice layer of ice and a safe practice of the sport,” says Parc Jean-Drapeau.

Access is reserved and free for members of the FQME (La FĂ©dĂ©ration quĂ©bĂ©coise de la montagne et de lâescalade). Daily prices cost $69.58, but climbers can also purchase a winter-long pass through the FQME website.

Since the activity is outdoors, the COVID-19 vaccine passport is not required to tackle the wall.
The wall is open every day from 6 am to 7 pm and each reservation lasts for three hours. All equipment is provided by the FQME and a team of professionals will be on-site to supervise safety.
Cheers to all the eventual climbers channelling their inner Jon Snow from Game of Thrones.
