TAISEZ-VOUS ET MANGEZ, VERMINES ! (SIT) 7B / Buthiers ouest
After the wildfire🔥closures and heatwaves 🥵 — and a month without posting climbing videos — it felt good to be back on the sandstone. 😊
I just wanted to try this little summer boulder that had been on my list for several years.
I quickly did the sit-start from the sidepulls, as described on bleau.info. With the very good top slopers, this version felt a little soft for the grade.
But then I saw the LOWER SIT-START from the slopers…
THAT TOOK QUITE A BIT MORE WORK.
The satisfaction came from finding my own beta: a heel hook on the left sloper to reach the sidepulls in control and complete the full low start.
There is also a small left-foot lock for the first move, which isn’t visible in the video.
MICRO-BETA: take the thumb off the left-hand pinch before the little dyno.
🤔One thought about sit-starts: 💡I think the starting holds should be clearly defined. Otherwise taller climbers can reach higher holds, while shorter climbers may be tempted to add a crashpad or start crouched.

Même boursorama s’ intéresse à la reprise… de Fontainebleau 😀

23/08/2026 17:57:20 : Promeneurs, cyclistes et grimpeurs ont retrouvé les sentiers de la forêt de Fontainebleau après plus d'un mois de fermeture suite à l'incendie qui a ravagé 10% du massif forestier.

La forêt après le feu ?

B***E PERDUE 7A 🔫 Boissy Le Plaid (Hunting area)
Happy to climb this problem I had not succeeded last year on a hot day. 😀🥵
In spite of the shade, the slopers can rapidly become hard to hold.
This morning was less warm, and I could even find a “new” beta with an undercling left hand,
that avoids using the sloppy pinch left hand, and thus relies even less on the slopers, and more on a good heel-toe cam.
The name of the problem, “Lost bullet”, humorously reminds that it is better not to climb in this area during hunting season: from mid-September until March, even if you don’t look like a wild boar 🐗😆

APLATS DU JOUR 7A 🍛Bois Rond Auberge
I climbed this problem on the first days of the heat wave 😎🥵almost 2 weeks ago.
It´s on the right of Didgeridoo boulder.
I cheated 🤥a bit for the (morpho) start taking the right hand higher, but then I realized it was not too hard to bring your right hand higher with a left crimp.
But the crux 😠for me was definitely the final dynamic move, from a good left hold to the top:
It was really hard to find a decent foot position, as I fell several times just trying to engage the movement with the right hand.
At the end, only high feet worked for me. 😀
I had done the right version 5 years ago, Aplats du Jour (direct) 7A+, which I had found a bit morpho but less hard than this left version.

LA MORTAISE 6C 🧩Restant du Long Rocher
I couldn’t resist from trying this PARADOXICAL LINE at the end of my session with :
Such an obvious and AESTHETIC PILAR we came across on our way back.
It’s an example of a few artificially shaped rocks we have in Font, probably the result of QUARRYING .
I see it as SCARS 🤕 in the rock…
But at the same time it turned out to be an interesting climb combining natural holds and chipped rock,
With a long move from a crimp to the edge, probably easier for tall climbers, but very COOL TO CLIMB.😀
When I think of ALL THE ROCKS THAT WERE DESTROYED BY QUARRYMEN in previous centuries, it always makes me SAD. 😢

ORANGE PRESSÉE 7A 🍊91.1
A less known problem in this classic area:
A strange boulder starting with a low compression, before a high blue (n°47).
Frustrating sit-start with very bad foot holds and a poor arete.
I struggled to find a solution (probably more than 50 tries in 2 sessions). 😡
And suddenly one sequence worked💡= right heel hook and left hand on a tiny crimp.
A day I felt in good shape and had unexpected good conditions, just after sending Mine de rien 7C 😉

LA SOUPE COSMIQUE 6B+ to 7B+ 🥣🧑‍🚀Roche aux Sabots
A guest talked to me about this little known boulder with beautiful sloppers early this spring. 😉
First, I had to clean a lot of brambles around 🌿and brush lichen and dust.
Then I could appreciate a nice little roof just on the east side of the area, quite quiet just hearing the crowd. 😀🧗🧗‍♂️🚶🚶‍♂️
I climbed all the versions in 2 short sessions:
Here I share a few videos: Direct (7A), Left version (6B+), and Right to Left version (7B+soft!) where I could find personal beta in the described line.
I hope the rock stays as clean as I left it, cleaning all the chalk and tick marks with water (see pictures 😊)
A good alternative to polished classics, if you forget all the toilet paper laying under the rocks around. 🧻☹️

LE PETIT SUISSE 7B+🇨🇭⚪️Restant du Long Rocher
ONE MINUTE AFTER 😆
A little crimpy wall I wanted to test for a long time:
A good team work with my friend Richard!🙏
Probably softer with the right beta,
I´ll have to come back to try the left beta again, but it’s in the shade only in the morning.😎
