Challenge your fears by trying canyoning on ice
Winter canyoning is a semi-extreme sport that you absolutely must discover!
Most people go to Mont-Sainte-Anne & nbsp; to ski down its slopes. ; winter: & nbsp; abseiling & nbsp; on rope and & nbsp; on ice. & nbsp; A winter activity that gives chills … & nbsp; for the right reasons! & nbsp;
We walk in a row through the snow-covered forest. Dressed warmly, ice cleats attached to the boots, everything suggests that you are only doing a winter hike in a quiet place (yet so close to the highway). The helmet planted on the toque and the harness swinging on the hips & nbsp; we quickly remind & nbsp; that at the end of this walk & nbsp; there are two icy falls that we are going to descend.
Do you also have the habit of throwing yourself into challenges that take you out of your comfort zone? Physical challenges that often allow you to face your fears? & Nbsp; ; This is what & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; This Half-Day & nbsp; In Company & nbsp; Marc Tremblay, Founder And Guide-Owner Of Canyoning-Quebec. & nbsp; and & nbsp; in & nbsp; telling us his climbing stories, he & nbsp; makes us & nbsp; so comfortable that we (almost) forget our fears. & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp;/p>
After the approach walk, we come to the first fall. Its short course, its alloy of ice and snow, & nbsp; and its angle of descent & nbsp; we & nbsp; seem very reasonable. Our harness being well secured, we even manage to throw a quick blow. eye down & nbsp; while “perfecting” our descent technique. & nbsp; & nbsp;
30 m high, the fall of the Jean-Larose river does not reveal all its splendors & nbsp; ;at once. And that's good, otherwise we'd be there again! & Nbsp; “Grandiose” is the only word that comes to mind when we think back to this icy wall that we don't realize & nbsp; the magnitude of lifting your head … once on dry land. & nbsp;
At & nbsp; halfway, & nbsp; when & nbsp; Marc & nbsp; we & nbsp; ask & nbsp; to watch him so that he can immortalize this moment in video, & nbsp; & nbsp; we & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; we & nbsp; & nbsp; not & nbsp; & nbsp; “It is because for us, the only way to accomplish such a challenge is to focus on our movements, & nbsp; the wall in front of us, and nbsp; never & nbsp; “above all & nbsp; never & nbsp; look down.” ; admired from below, her legs slightly wobbly, but a light heart. & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp;
Proud & nbsp; to have experienced & nbsp; rappelling & nbsp; on & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp;
; we & nbsp; warmed our hands on the cup of hot tea brought & nbsp; in surprise & nbsp; by our guide, & nbsp; the gaze & nbsp; riveted & nbsp; on & nbsp; this m Wonder of nature. & nbsp;
