 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
We drove in on Chemin St. Paul road in Chartierville, Quebec. We drove past the last house and into the logging operation about 1 mi. We parked at the road that heads to boundary pond. The road looked like it had been very muddy and was rutted; it was still a bit soft heading in. bryan's Subaru did well; 2 wheel drive would not get as far. |

 | Comments: |
We walked along the road towards boundary pond, which was shockingly bare in places. The surface consisted of blue ice and breakable crust. We took this road to the boundary swath and headed up to D'Urban. The crust was fagile in places and there was some blue ice. From D'Urban, we returned to the pond and went up to snag. For the rest of the Swath walk, the crust was much more supportive. From Snag, we descended towards the Salmon col. Leaving the col to go for Salmon, we bushwhacked to avoid an immediate steep section. Returning to the Swath, we walked up towards Salmon, and then to the high point. To return, we returned to the Snag Salmon col and then took the road leading from that col into Canada. The road connected to the road we parked on. We used snowshoes the entire way, except the last bit of road walk, which we barebooted. |
