Ascent Trip ReportFor the weekend, I had one free day and planned to visit a few MRC high points. After setting a rough itinerary on Friday night, I woke up around 07:00 on Saturday and soon took the road. I headed north on chemin Georges-Bonnalie for 15km and turned left on HWY 220. At the junction with HWY 243, I took a left and followed it to Sainte-Anne-de-Larochelle where I turned right on chemin de Sainte-Anne Nord. After a few kilometers, I turned left on 9e Rang Ouest, going through the twists and turns to the junction with 11e Rang. I parked there and geared up, expecting some rain as the sky was overcast and heavy-looking.
I followed the road to the creek crossing and headed across the ditch and into the brush. Past the creek, I walked along the edge of the maple grove before angling slightly more to the north. The forest was open, most of the undergrowth not having had a chance to sprout yet. It was quite wet and slippery though so I was very careful over the numerous fallen trees. I went over the western bump before descending back into a wide and marshy valley where I had to circle around some puddles. From there I aimed uphill and towards the summit, reaching an obvious sparsely forested high point.
After marking the spot in my GPS, I headed downhill, going in a straighter line than on the way up. I still had to find the drier path but it wasn't too complicated and after cresting over the west bump again, there was only a slippery descent back to the road left to make. Only a few sparse raindrops fell during the short hike and I made it back to the car mostly dry. From there I took the road towards my second goal, mont Saint-Bruno. |
