Carved into the rugged walls of E. Mur Principal within the Adénosine sector, Sexe en bobettes stands as a focused challenge for climbers stepping into Quebec's eastern rock faces. Sitting in the heart of the Laurentians, this single-pitch sport route demands precise movement and quiet concentration, especially near its top where the holds suddenly tighten and test your skill. The climb may lack crowds, inviting a more solitary experience where the rock’s texture beneath your fingertips and the distant forest hum take center stage.

The approach to the wall is straightforward, threading through well-marked trails that wind through mixed hardwood stands typical of the Laurentian landscape. As you walk in, the forest floor crunches underfoot, offering a sensory prelude to the technical effort ahead. Given the route’s moderate popularity, you can expect peaceful surroundings and little traffic, suitable for climbers who prefer time alone with the stone.

Sexe en bobettes extends just one pitch, rated a demanding 5.11d sport climb. The steady vertical ascent is peppered with sport bolts, ensuring a secure track upward with minimal gear fuss. However, don’t underestimate the route: the upper section transitions into a delicate balance of finger locks and subtle foot placements that test your edge control and mental focus. The Laurentians' cool climate often keeps rock temperatures comfortable, but timing your climb to avoid midday sun will preserve grip and reduce fatigue.

Despite its brief length, this climb rewards those who chase quality over quantity. The wall stands exposed to early daylight, so starting mid-morning allows you to warm into the moves while also escaping the harshest sun. The immediate surroundings are a calm blend of pine scents and the distant call of birds, giving you a chance to settle nerves before engaging the most technical sequences.

Protection consists solely of sport bolts, well-spaced along the route, demanding confidence in clipping and clip-clip transitions. Being a lesser-traveled route, the rock may surprise handholds with delicate edges and slight crumb, so always test placements and keep safety front and center. Adequate footwear with firm edging will serve you well here, especially during the top section’s subtle smears.

For those plotting a day in the Laurentians, Sexe en bobettes is a skillful marker on the map—an invitation to focus on form and resolve. Despite its modest reviews, the route’s precise demands and quiet setting create an immersive climb experience, far from the throng of better-known crags. Seasoned sport climbers looking for a technical crux and mental challenge will find this route fitting.

Setting off early, avoid wet rock conditions to maintain optimal friction, and bring hydration plus layered clothing as the microclimate can shift quickly in this forested region. Post-climb, enjoy a short walk back through mixed forest back to the parking area, reflecting on the slow but steady grind up one of Quebec’s more discreet sport routes.
