Trail # 2 La Crete, Summit/South Side

La Crete originates at the Summit "Traffic Signal"
or trail light board and proceeds North Westerly
toward the top of #8 Beauvallon, #7 Alpine, #3 Nansen,
on the South Side and the alternate entrance to #72 P'tit Bonheur,
on the North Side. This North Side exit is not depicted
on the trail map, but is very easy if needed, at the
immediate 180' of the #7 Alpine entrance.
Left hand exits off of La Crete in its first 100 meters access
South Side #12 (Renamed Erik Guay)Grand Prix , #14 Zig-Zag,
#13 Vertige, #15 Gaetan Boucher, #17 Dunzee.
Technically Speaking, La Crete runs all the way Nor-West to
the intersection of Trail #1, Bon Vivant(as it comes around
from the Versant Nord, “Edge” Sector Peak), but 99% of
people tend to think of it ending at the top entrance of Nansen
which is perceived to be also at the top of #7 “Alpine”(further
detail on that below).
It is a connecter run.
La Crete starts out at the "traffic signal" and proceeds
down and just heading off to the right of center screen
here. It follows the contour of the slope crossing from left to right
under the far, Flag-Flying, Summit observation deck in this shot.
Sorry for the dark sky in this one, on the bright side,
it started snowing a Blizzard soon after!
This shot shows #2 La Crete quite well and you can see
the various Trail signs posted along its length to indicate
individual trails as well as "South" and "North" side
designations.
Below: A sunnier version facing down La Crete to the top of Beauvallon/Alpine
which follows the natural traffic path to the right of this frame.
What you are also looking at here is the Summit Peak where the observation
deck is located. If you go left where you can see the trail markers, you leave
La Crete to proceed along the Summit ridge to either Dunzee/McCulloch,
Vertige, Zig-Zag or Erik Guay.
