A bit of a one-move-wonder, this one. But that can be good if it's one move that suits you. The move in question is a strong pull off the ground using a good undercling over your head. If you can d
This boulder looks so stunning! This version starts under the roof as for Fat Woman, but exits direct. In the crack you will find a crimp that might help you to lock of to the top. You can also throw
Low travers on slopers. There is a hidden pockethold on the left that can help to maken the sloper pinch up top less bad!
Traverses on slopers are never morpho! You can place your heel where ever you like and slap that hand on the sweet-spot that you want. It looks like this line is not that often climbed. It's a good id
This boulder will catch your eye if you walk up the hill of Isatis. It is a huge block with a looooong traverse on it. Luckily for La Rampe Finie you only have to climb half of the traverse and exit b
This is a typical “French start” that requires a jump to the start hold when you are short. It adds some extra spice and fun!
Beautiful arete. It is a bit high what might be intimidating, but the landing is good!
Traverse with a tricky top out. You have to mantle up the foot to get to a bad sidepull. But once you can manage to get your weight over the block, you know you are there!
Little arete with a funky jump. This boulder had a few lines on it. This version excludes the left side of the prow.
I think we do have to put it lower than taller fellows. There is a place where it holds, it's smiring a bit. I posted a video I think you can see where I put it. Good luck next time :)
If you like kneebars and footjams, this is your line! This funky boulder has a sit start followed by a kneebar to help your hands up the crack. After that you jam your feet above your had to get out o
La traversée du bas ne rajoute pas grand chose à la difficulté et rend l'escalade presque pénible parce qu'on doit rester accroupi et qu'on ne peut pas tendre les bras si on ne veut pas toucher le sol
Un bon bloc pour les brutes de la poutre qui n'y verront que du feu! Gooooooo!!!!
Ce bloc n'est pas un incontournable de la foret, il est (de mon point de vue) difficile pour la cotation et un peu morpho. Plus facile pour les grands, pour sûr. En plus il est un peu loin de tout...
Allez y avec beaucoup de pads pour se sentir en sécurité. Le crux est le réta.
Petit tip méthode ( spoiler alert :P ) : je mets mon pieds droit sur la prise noire du bas et pas le pied gauche comme
c'est plutôt joli mais se fait mieux avec une parade.
c'est loin du parking, c'est pas très joli, je ne recommende pas.
A bit of a reachy start if you're short, but take an undercut and a sidepull on the left and make a big move to the right. Climb using heel hooks on both sides, and marginal slopey crimps in compress
Big moves on big holds across a big roof.
Very un-Bleau like boulder. Small crimps and compact heels make this problem suitable for shorter climbers. The secret is to pinky-wrap the peanut hold. The cave stays cool, so it's also doable in war
Hey! I’m Janna and I’m on the way home from a lovely time in Font. I’m wondering if there’s a good spot for my right heel hook at the top of graviton. My slightly taller friends seemed to talk about g
Could only ever barely grab the undercling! So I pushed super hard with my fight foot in order to make the undercling more level with my face and then I was able to go for the little jug/sidepull - an
Starting right side of the roof, crossing over,powerful pull on the left side of the roof for top out.
A soft and funny little boulder. The beginning is crimpy and the end is soft
Another great line at Apremont Désert. Loved the moves on this low prow in the back of the area. Rocking over the high heel is the key to get around the belly.
A cute little overhanging prow next to the slap Licifer. A sitstart with the pocket and a good hold followed by some nice compression moves and a mantle on top.
The climb with the scary down climb. I needed two pads to be brave enough to jump down. It’s a nice technical climb with a spicy move to get the foot up.
Un super mouvement avec une inversée MG qui se déclenche en dynamique et qui se termine stat.
Super horizontal fun, starting further into the cave than you imagine. Keep those feet on and get creative. From the lip, traverse a little to the left for a fun mantle.
Interesting traverse that gets you making some cool shapes! Sit start on the right under the bulge, and hug your way over it. Traverse left along the break and save some energy for moving around the
Possibly the least straightforward line in Font. Possible also that not one person has ever climbed it "correctly" the first time without having done extensive research. The version, as opened, tr
This fun boulder is super small, but don't let it fool you! Despite it being small it is quite a powerful boulder. You start off with tiny crimps and after that, you decide! You can compress if you ar
Swing around on a juggy rail with your feet in the air! The sit start is possible without a crashpad even for us shorties, but take care not to use the pedestal for your feet as you traverse right.

Hello! Question-- how are you guys (ladies) releasing your right toe so easily? Is it the left toe placement that is really good? I was trying this and could not release the right toe at all-- and loo
Have you though Helen? I would loooove to go try this??.. hint hint
I hope everyone has seen the Instagram posts, but just to confirm… turn up at Apremont Desert tomorrow, any time before 12.00 to warm up, and get a few ideas. Then meet with everyone at the picnic sp
In my opinion the sit start does nothing to raise the difficulty, so the grade of 6b/6b+ is ok. Absolutely good also for smaller climbers: instead of dyno to the right, i got my left foot high up on t
This cool boulder might feel really hard when you get on it for the first time, but don't give up! Once you get the feel of it the moves start to feel more comfortable. Especially getting off the grou
So, let’s do it!! Let’s meet at Apremont Desert on Tuesday. I’ll be there from about 11am until 4pm. I’ll put a few videos on Instagram of some boulders we might try. Feel free to bring friends, f
This will be my first time at Font! Haha I am probably not as strong as you ladies. I was looking at yellow - orange circuits? In NY, I am climbing V4-5 in the gym, but could translate differently in
Hello
My friend Charlotte and I will be in Fontainebleau from 16 to 22 Oct. Happy to meet Tuesday.Such a cool beta Magdalena...
And your video is not too late :-)Alright!! Let’s try and get some folks together for 19th! It’ll be a Tuesday, so not ideal, but let’s see who’s free. What grade range are you looking at?

Hi Helen, I'm actually going to be in Font October 18-21.
Thank you for pointing out the error in video labelling ????. That’s actually not me ??. I didn’t get a video of my crazy high heel…. I shall endeavour to get one before Christmas ??
Sorry it’s always super hard to describe it^^ I tried it exactly like the videos here but first I find it super hard to reach the „roundy jug“ high enough in a way that it feels good. I am just standi
A do-able, but burly 7a+, this is often a first in the grade, but it doesn't suit everyone. Shorties have an easier time with the bunched up start, but get paid back with a long reach getting to the
I’m not quite following your description Theresa, but I can tell you what I did for the end which was quite fun. I was tracking with my left heel, and when I got up to the final arête, I kept putting
The start totally works out. BUT: I tried it the other day and I was super lost on the last moves (which should be 6b or sth) because they seemed super reachy for me. My boyfriend just flashed it movi
Cool 6a boulder that starts with a big move to good holds that you don't see to well. It is a bit deadpoint situation you will find yourself in.
A fun boulder with a little bit of everything: crimp rail with a horizontal jump to a slot, then traverse the lip for an easy mantle. What's not to love? This boulder is hidden away at the far end
Thank you, gals, I have an Android phone and I don't have this issue on all websites, but maybe on some, not sure. I will test it on my laptop to see if it's still the case. It's not a big problem, ju
Merci Helen de m'avoir envoyé le point GPS, sans ça, je n'aurai jamais trouvé le bloc!
Il semblerait que la version de droite sans toucher la rampe que je touche à la fin avec mon pied gauche était côtée 7c à la base (dommage pour moi hihi). Dans tous les cas, avec ma méthode, de mon po
Un bloc assez dur pour la côte, selon moi la fin est ténieuse! Je recoterais bien au moins à 7a+. Il y a un caillou en dessous ce qui rend la chute peu commode, sauf si on des pads et des parades.
Flash. Pas morpho, très agréable, pas très haut non plus!
DUR!! On y a passé une bonne heure avec Leslie. A mon avis que ce truc est morpho grand, ma cotation personnelle se situerai plutôt autour de 7b, à moins que je n'ai vraiment pas trouvé la méthode de
Joli bloc à doigts, à faire seul avec un pad sans problème!
pour faire le 7b il faut passer sous le toit, sans utiliser les prises du haut, comme l'indique la description bleau.info. Je pense que ce bloc est plus dur pour les petits et donc morpho. La version
Petite traversée sympa qui se fait seule avec un ou deux pads.
Hey everybody!
I ll be in bleau for the next two weeks (4.10-16.10) and would love to boulder together with (an)other female crusher(s).
I don't really care about difficulty, from doing blue Parcou
