During the conference, Jacques Lamontagne will share with you, in images and words, some of his sometimes comical but always captivating adventures on Quebec’s rock faces during the ’70s and ’80s. Of course, he’ll also talk about his brand-new guidebook 50 Classiques de Lamontagne / Les plus belles grandes voies d’escalade au Québec!
Conference presentation: Vincent Landry’s mountaineering is a balance between total commitment and humility. Whether on the Grandes Jorasses in winter or on the Denali on skis, each expedition is a challenge where performance counts, but where the mountain imposes its own rules. Through these adventures, he will share a vision where surpassing oneself and respecting the environment go hand in hand.
Jesse Speed, a passionate climber for eight years, saw his life take a dramatic turn when he underwent an amputation of his left foot. Faced with this challenge, he refused to give up his love for climbing. Instead, he chose to transform this adversity into an opportunity for self-discovery and growth.
Climbing as a Tool for Personal and Social Development
The organization Ça me dit de grimper has taken on the challenge of using climbing as a means for personal and social growth, while also striving to make this discipline accessible to individuals in socially vulnerable situations. During this conference-discussion, we will revisit the key stages of the project’s development and delve into its clinical programming by participating in a hands-on workshop focused on emotional safety.
Climbing is a complex discipline that requires a wide range of skills, often misunderstood, especially by beginner or intermediate climbers. In this presentation, we will begin by defining climbing as a whole to better understand its specificities.
