A low, powerful, roof that's not too reachy and has actual holds. What's not to love?
Friction-dependent, beta-dependent, technique-dependent. If any of those things are lacking, you'll find it harder than some of the 7b's in the area.
Popular problem just off the path at the start of the area, it may be easier for the short to do this method than the 7a variant with the right hand arete. Stand start with hands lower than seems obv
Not sure on this one, but having played around on it, would say for 7a you miss the big sloper on the left... bleau.info disagrees tho. And it was super! hot when I was trying it.
Start as for Makhno, with the two crimps get a high left hook, then left sloper - right sloper. Beautiful.
A big lock off at the end, key is to fully trust the left foot!
Be careful not to step on the ancient carvings on the big pedestal!
Beautiful traverse with mostly slopers, where the first few moves are definitely the hardest. Finish on the left of the nose with a very doable mantle into a victory jug
The lower part was easy for shorties, but then the mantle harder than expected
This is a fun problem (Red #30) with a sit start into a slightly overhanging bulge. It has some powerful moves that seem harder for shorties but high heel hooks and foot placements can help make up fo
Nice balancy problem. Good friction slopers on top
Tricky start around the arete and then keeping it together at the top. Technical nice line
Ooh! There's some amazing girls-only trickery to be found on this boulder. Go do it now! The conventional start is from the pinch and the crimp, but with your feet further under the roof. As
A fun traverse along the lip of a roof, with some tiny crimps that work for small fingers and no reaches anywhere in sight.
Sitstart, crimp for left hand and hook with the right. Long move to a good crimp with right hand that can be avoided using the bad slopery part on the right. There are different variations to do the t
On the backside of the El Pussah boulder this is a fun non-Font-esque 3D boulder problem that poses more of a problem if you are less than 155 tall! Avoid the eliminated holds as described on Bleau.i
Easy moves to start with, up to the bigger move to the crimp. I found a small pocket/undercling on the left side of the jug that you normally use for the big move to the crimp (not the one you use lat
A boulder that looks reachy at first, but a little ingenuity makes this problem possible. Start with the left hand pinch, the right hand in the pocket, and a foot lock in the big hole. Short legs make
This boulder is perfect for shorties. You have to swift your weight on your left heel to manage to hold the slopers and traverse to the right. It has a good landing so with two pads you can easily do
Beautiful vertical and crimpy line, starts a bit to the right then moves left - 6a, not 5+
A low traverse, followed by a tricky move to get established and reach up to some nice Font slopers. A really good "First 7a", and very doable for shorties.
If you have short arms, this problems looks impossibly wide at first glance. But you can outsmart the powerful moves with some sneaky footwork making this problem an enjoyable entry-level 7a.
This is the left variant of Donnant-Donnant that tall guys do because it has a crazy big jump to the lip. But there
This is one of those lines that sucks you in. You'll get up to the slopers on your first go, and they don't even feel that bad at first. But the mantle is crazy hard no matter how you go at it (and
Big throw to start things off, then a funky mantle and some crimps above. A little of everything, really. It's hard for shorties because of that huge blind jump at the beginning and the subsequent
Looks pretty straightforward, sitting there right on the trail. Easy to pad out, no bad fall potential. Those slopers do look a bit slippery but really, how hard can it be? Narrator: *It was n
First move is easier if you're tall, but can be done by shorties using a couple of terrible crimps in opposition. Pulling the roof, it helps to be small, so it all works out in the end.
Fun problem that feels hard at first but succumbs to plenty of feminine-foot-trickery. Sit start under the roof, and move out to the arete with powerful moves on a left heel hook at the back of t
Un super mouvement avec une inversée MG qui se déclenche en dynamique et qui se termine stat.
Fun fun fun moves out the roof, and then you have options. This option heads straight out right to a big sloper and a fight to get established above.
Powerful and technical. And given its location it gets lots of traffic so chances are there will be plenty of pads and spotters around if you try it on a busy weekend. It may be suffering a bit fr
Really beautiful line on the right arete of the boulder which can be found on the top of the hill on the west side of the sector. Took me some tries to figure out the exact beta and sequence. The move
Fun low-ball with classic Fontainebleau Elephant skin. Be careful when brushing, the boulder is very sandy.
Départ assis, possible de partir avec les jambes vers la gauche ou la droite. Super fun overhanging compression route with a sitstart that is easier for the short :-)
