Bunny Hop: A Focused Climber's Warm-Up at Gully Walls

Bunny Hop at Gully Walls offers a straightforward yet rewarding introduction to sport climbing with a dash of top-rope action. Set against the quiet backdrop of Mont Rigaud, this single-pitch route invites climbers to tune their technique without overwhelming complexity. The rock is approachable, and the route’s gentle incline provides a steady rhythm, making it ideal for those eager to refine footwork and balance away from more demanding climbs. The climb’s modest height means you stay connected to the natural environment—listen to the breeze rustling through the pines and catch glimpses of the surrounding Montérégie hills while you move. Protection is minimal but reliable, with two bolts securing the line and a solid anchor at the top, allowing for an efficient and confident ascent. Because Gully Walls is easily accessible, Bunny Hop serves not just as a warm-up, but a practical option for sharpening skills before taking on more technical routes nearby. Expect a straightforward approach over gentle terrain, with the friendly pace encouraging both new climbers and seasoned hands looking for a no-pressure session. Keep in mind, while the grade is comfortable at 5.6, the climb demands a certain focus—overconfidence can lead to slips on the smoother surfaces. So lace up sturdy climbing shoes, double-check your harness and ropes, and prepare for a climb that rewards mindfulness as much as movement. In all, Bunny Hop doesn’t just prepare your body; it wakes up your climbing instincts, making it a valuable stop on any Montérégie climbing itinerary.

Climber Safety

Although the route is well protected with bolts and an anchor, the smooth rock can be slippery especially if damp. Always scout the holds carefully and be mindful of weather conditions to avoid falls due to unexpected slips.
